γ-干擾素
干擾素-γ(Interferon gamma、Interferon-γ、IFNG、IFNγ)是水溶性二聚體的細胞因子[2]。是II型干擾素的唯一成員[3]曾被稱為巨噬細胞活化因子。

結構
生物活性
所有的細胞都可以產生干擾素-α和干擾素-β, 而干擾素-γ只由自然殺傷細胞(NK細胞)和活化的T細胞產生。I型干擾素對酸穩定,而干擾素-γ則遇酸變性。
干擾素-γ具有抗病毒、免疫調節及抗腫瘤特性[5]。干擾素-γ可以與干擾素伽瑪受體(IFNGR)結合,進而調節JAK-STAT通路。干擾素-γ激活抗原提呈細胞,通過上調轉錄因子T-bet而促進I型輔助T細胞(Th1細胞)的分化。
干擾素-γ是I型輔助T細胞(Th1細胞)的標誌性的細胞因子。II型輔助T細胞(Th2細胞)釋放白細胞介素-4(IL-4)和白細胞介素-13(IL-13)。自然殺傷細胞和CD8+T細胞也產生干擾素-γ。干擾素-γ通過迅速降解RANK-RANKL信號通路的TRAF6而抑制破骨細胞形成。
治療用途
干擾素可以用來治療傳染病,但也能促成自體免疫。在接受干擾素伽瑪治療的病人中,多達19%的病人會有自體免疫.
干擾素IFNγ用於豬生殖與呼吸道綜合症PRRSV的治療上,有試驗發現干擾素IFNγ能活化先天免疫細胞,進而達到抑制病毒數量的效果。[6]
A型流感的治療上,也有小鼠試驗表現出當缺失干擾素後,流感感染小鼠死亡率大幅提升且體內病毒數量維持高濃度水平;相較之下,體內有干擾素存在的小鼠,流感病毒數量隨著干擾素的生成而逐漸下降。[7]
