Advances in Interferon Research

Call for Papers

Interferon (IFNs) are proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, parasites or tumor cells. It can “interfere” with viral replication within host cells. Moreover, they can strengthen vitality of natural killer cell, macrophage, T lymphocyte, thus adjusting immunity, increasing the ability of uninfected host cells to resist new infection by virus. There are about ten distinct IFNs have been identified in mammals and seven of these have been described for humans.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Interferon.

Authors should read over the journal’s Author Guidelines carefully before submission, Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the“Special Issue’’ under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue- Interferon Research ” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
