The Molecular Cell Biology of Interferon-gamma and its Receptor

Farrar, M A, Schreiber, R D·1993·Annual Review of Immunology

Abstract

The last ten years have seen an explosive growth in our understanding of IFN gamma. The cloning of the cDNAs for IFN gamma and its receptor have made available large amounts of highly purified recombinant IFN gamma and soluble IFN gamma receptor. In addition, highly specific neutralizing monoclonal antibodies have been generated to both of these proteins. Using these reagents, IFN gamma and the IFN gamma receptor have been characterized on a molecular basis. Structure-function studies carried out on these proteins have identified key molecular regions that are required for biologic activity. Moreover, a great deal is now known concerning the physiologic role that IFN gamma plays in vivo. In this review we focus on the new developments in the areas of IFN gamma biochemistry and biology and pay particular attention to the IFN gamma receptor and three aspects of IFN gamma biology that are of special interest to immunologists: host defense, inflammation, and autoimmunity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
