Target Information
Canine IFN-alpha, or Interferon alpha, is a type of cytokine that plays an integral role in triggering the immune response against viral infections in dogs. Along with enhancing the action of natural killer cells, this protein also boosts the adaptive immune response. It achieves this by promoting antigen presentation and the differentiation of T-cells. Animal studies have identified it as potential means to treat canine diseases like distemper and leptospirosis, which are caused by harmful viruses.
