Target Information
Chicken interferon type B, also known as Interferon-beta (IFN-β), is a cytokine crucial for the innate immune response in chickens. This protein is produced in response to viral infections and plays a significant role in limiting virus replication by inducing an antiviral state in surrounding cells. IFN-β activates the immune system, enhances the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, and promotes the function of natural killer (NK) cells. It is also involved in the regulation of the adaptive immune response. In veterinary medicine, IFN-β is important for understanding and potentially enhancing disease resistance in poultry, particularly against viral pathogens.
