Recombinant human interferon α1b for injection

Function and Efficacy

This product has broad-spectrum antiviral, anti-tumor and immunomodulatory functions. Interferon binds to cell surface receptors, inducing cells to produce a variety of antiviral proteins, thereby inhibiting the replication of viruses in cells; it can enhance the specific cytotoxic effect of macrophages and lymphocytes on target cells by regulating immune function, effectively curbing the occurrence of viral invasion and infection; enhancing the activity of natural killer cells, inhibiting the growth of tumor cells, and clearing early malignant cells. Acute toxicity test: mice were injected with 3 times the human dose (calculated by body weight) of this product through the tail vein, and there was no acute toxic reaction. Long-term toxicity test: dogs were injected with 5.6 times and 28 times the human dose; rats were injected with 5.6 times, 28 times and 140 times the human dose (all calculated by body weight), and the injections were continued for 3 months and 6 months respectively. All animals survived and no toxic reactions were observed. No pathological changes of toxicological significance were found in blood and bone marrow smears and organ pathological sections.
