CONT

En el ser humano se han identificado tres tipos de interferones principales: alfa, beta y gamma. Los interferones alfa y beta integran la clase I y el interferón gamma la tipo II. Los interferones tipo I aumentan la función supresora inespecífica de las células T.

CONT

Las citocinas antivirales por excelencia son los interferones tipo I. Inhiben la replicación viral debido a que inducen en las células la síntesis de enzimas, tales como 2'-5' oligoadenilato sintetasa, que colectivamente interfieren la replicación del ARN y ADN viral.
