Inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication by human interferons alpha, beta and gamma

Arch Immunol Ther Exp (Warsz). 1993;41(3-4):185-91.

Abstract

The effect of various preparations of human interferon (HuIFN) upon human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) replication in cell lines and primary cultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) was investigated. Natural interferon alpha (nHuIFN-alpha) exhibited a much higher inhibitory effect upon HIV-1 replication than did recombinant HuIFN-alpha (rHuIFN-alpha).
