Flashcards on Interferon Gamma

Click on the flashcard to see the answer


What is Interferon Gamma?

Interferon gamma is a cytokine protein which is part of the immune system's response to intracellular pathogens.

What cells produce interferon gamma?

Interferon gamma is primarily produced by natural killer cells and T cells.

What is the function of interferon gamma?

The function of interferon gamma is to activate immune cells, stimulate macrophages to kill bacteria, and increase MHC class I and II expression.

What is the receptor for interferon gamma?

The receptor for interferon gamma is the interferon gamma receptor.

What are the different isoforms of interferon gamma?

There is only one isoform of interferon gamma, but it can be produced in different forms due to alternative splicing.

What is the role of interferon gamma in cancer treatment?

Interferon gamma can be used to stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells, and is used in some cancer treatments.

What is interferon gamma's role in autoimmune diseases?

Interferon gamma can exacerbate symptoms of autoimmune diseases by stimulating the immune response.

What is the effect of interferon gamma on viruses?

Interferon gamma can inhibit viral replication and increase virus-specific T cell responses.

What is the structure of interferon gamma?

Interferon gamma is a dimer composed of two identical subunits connected by disulfide bonds.

How is interferon gamma regulated?

The production of interferon gamma is regulated by cytokines and other signaling molecules.

What are the side effects of interferon gamma therapy?

Side effects of interferon gamma therapy can include flu-like symptoms, fatigue, and depression.

What diseases are treated with interferon gamma therapy?

Interferon gamma therapy is used to treat chronic granulomatous disease and osteopetrosis.

What happens when interferon gamma binds to its receptor?

Binding of interferon gamma to its receptor activates the JAK-STAT signaling pathway.

Can interferon gamma cross the blood-brain barrier?

Interferon gamma is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and can have effects on the central nervous system.

What is the relationship between interferon gamma and nitrogen species?

Interferon gamma can induce the production of nitrogen species, which can contribute to its immune-stimulating effects.
