Interferon-alpha 2 (IFN alpha -2) is one of 14 subtypes within the IFN-alpha class of Type I Interferons (1). IFN-alpha class members signal through a common cell surface receptor complex composed of IFN-alpha R2 and IFN-alpha R1 subunits. As the first highly active IFN to be cloned and produced, IFN alpha -2 has become the prototypic IFN for academic and pharmaceutical research. Murine IFN-alpha 2 can eliminate cardiac viral load and protect cardiomyocytes from injury in animals infected with coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). IFN alpha -2 derived mutants with reduced IFNR2 binding inhibited HIV replication and mutants with more IFNAR1 binding potentiated antiviral activity.
