Pegylated interferon ... is a chemically modified form of the standard interferon that treats hepatitis C and rarely hepatitis B. The difference between interferon and peginterferon is the PEG, which stands for a molecule called polyethylene glycol. The PEG does nothing to fight the virus. But by attaching it to the interferon (which does fight the virus), the interferon will stay in the body (specifically the blood) much longer. 4, record 1, English, - PEGylated%20interferon

Il s’agissait de tester un nouveau type d’interféron, l'interféron PFC, venu des États-Unis, ou il avait donné de bons résultats. Un millier de patients de différents pays européens, atteints d’hépatite C chronique, participent à cette étude, dont le but est, à travers le traitement de patients jamais traités jusqu'alors, de comparer l'interphéron alpha 2b-Introna à des doses multiples de PEG-Interféron. [...] Le PEG-Interféron s’administre par injection sous-cutanée, lui aussi, mais une fois par semaine au lieu de 3. 2, record 1, French, - interf%C3%A9ron%20p%C3%A9gyl%C3%A9

ALPHA INTERFERON (trade names INTRON-A, ROFERON-A and WELLFERON-A): This cytokine is produced by leukocytes. Recombinant alpha interferon has anti-HIV and immunomodulatory activity, and inhibits growth of tumor cells. This biological product has proven effective and received FDA approval for the treatment of AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma, hairy leukemia and genital warts. Alpha interferon is a very promising anti-HIV treatment alone or in combination with other antivirals such as AZT. 4, record 2, English, - interferon%20alpha%2D2b
