Regulation of cell growth by interferon
Cancer Metastasis Rev.
1987.
Abstract
Interferons can regulate growth and differentiation in a wide range of cell types. These mechanisms are currently being examined. Interferons inhibit the growth of tumour cells and are thus potential anti-cancer agents. They can also inhibit normal cell growth in vitro, and stimulate tumour cell growth in vitro. They may also be involved in some autoimmune diseases. This review examines the effect of interferons on cell proliferation, function, and growth, focusing primarily on in vitro cell systems.
