Antitumour actions of interferons: implications for cancer therapy

Nature Reviews Cancer 16, 131 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrc.2016.14 Authors: Belinda S. Parker, Jai Rautela & Paul J. Hertzog The interferons (IFNs) are a family of cytokines that protect against disease by direct effects on target cells and by activating immune responses. The production and actions of IFNs are finely tuned to achieve maximal protection and avoid the potential toxicity associated with excessive responses.
