Human Interferon β (INF-β) is a member of cytokines family which different studies have shown its immunomodulatory and antiviral activities. In this study an expression vector was designed and constructed for expression of human INF-β-1b either in shake flasks and bench top bioreactor. The designed vector was constructed based upon pET-25b(+) with T7 promoter. Recombinant human beta interferon ...

Background: High dose Interferon Beta and Fingolimod are efficient in Multiple Sclerosis. Objectives: Comparison the efficacy of these two drugs in patients with treatment failure on low dose interferon beta. Materials and Methods: The MS patients (McDonald criteria 2010) with the history of unbeneficial treatment on low dose interferon beta participated in this randomized clinical trial ...

abstract introduction:  this study was performed to compare the effects of low-dose interferon beta-1(cinnovex,30 mcg) and high-dose interferon beta-1(rebif,44 mcg) on the reduction of the number and size of plaques in magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in patients with multiple sclerosis (ms). methods and materials: this historical cohort study, which was performed in 2014 in sanandaj (western p...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is an inflammatory disorder, in which neurons in central nervous system (cns) become demyelinated .ms is named for its formation of plaques due to sclerosis of myelin. variable degree of demyelination results in mild, mediate or severe symptomatic episodes of this disease. it is commonly characterized by recurrent relapses and often followed by severe neurological disabi...

Background and Objective: Due to the severe inflammatory conditions and cytokine storm in COVID-19 disease, corticosteroids are used worldwide as adjunctive therapy for these patients due to their anti-inflammatory effects. However, due to limited and inconsistent information about the effectiveness of this drug, this study aimed to investigate the benefit of combined use of β-interferon and me...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether statins affect type 1 interferon responses in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). DESIGN Study effects of atorvastatin on type 1 interferon responses in Jurkat cells, mononuclear cells (MNCs) from therapy-naive patients with RRMS in vitro, and MNCs from interferon-treated RRMS patients in vivo in 4 conditions: no drug, statin only, interferon-beta onl...

BACKGROUND Interferon beta has been approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is believed that immunomodulatory rather than antiviral activity of interferon beta is responsible for disease amelioration. The impact of interferon beta on the chemoattraction of immune cells has not been fully addressed. OBJECTIVE To address the influence of interferon beta on the expression of ch...
