Interferon-alpha is a cytokine that is widely known to induce potent anti-viral activity. Interferon-alpha exerts a variety of other biological effects, including antitumor and immunomodulatory activities and are increasingly used clinically to treat a range of malignancies, myelodysplasias and autoimmune diseases. Recombinant human Interferon-alpha was expressed in E. coli and purified by conventional chromatography, after refolding of the isolated inclusion bodies in a renaturation buffer.
