Interferon alfa is a class of biological immunomodulating and antineoplastic agents consisting of natural or recombinant cytokines produced in response to viral infections and other immune stimuli.
These agents bind to specific cell-surface receptors to induce the expression of interferon-stimulated genes, which elicit antiproliferative, direct antiviral, and immune-enhancing effects, such as augmenting cytotoxicity and natural killer cell activity.
Clinically, interferon alfa formulations—including recombinant and pegylated variants—are utilized in the treatment of chronic viral infections, notably chronic hepatitis B and C.
They are also indicated across oncology and hematology to manage conditions such as hairy cell leukemia, malignant melanoma, Kaposi sarcoma, and certain myeloproliferative disorders like polycythemia vera.
