Research Abstract

Type I interferons(IFNs) are pleiotropic cytokines that elicit antiviral and antiproliferative responses. In this study, we attempted to create a mutant IFN with higher anti-viral activity. At first, we constructed a phage library displaying IFN mutants. The phage library was performed to several rounds of panning to concentrate mutatnt IFN with high affinity to IFN receptor. As the results, some candidates exhibited higher affinity and anti-viral activity compare to wild type IFN.
