Popis: Interferon (IFN)_proteins interact with cells through specific cell surface receptors, some of which have been purified and cloned. The alpha-IFNs and beta-IFN bind to a common receptor (type I), whereas gamma-IFN binds to a separate receptor (type II). Both types of high-affinity receptors have been demonstrated on a variety of different kinds of cells but in relatively low numbers (102–104/cell). The relationship between IFN binding to receptors and the ways in which IFNs may affect cellular physiology and gene expression is discussed.
