In general, IFN-gamma is a central regulator of innate and adaptive immune responses mounted against viral infection, mediates cell mediated immunity such as anti-tumor immune responses and is a hallmark of T helper type 1 (Th1) immune responses (1,2). In this capacity, IFN-gamma is a potent activator of macrophages and induces Class I and Class II MHC (major histocompatibility complex) expression. When IFN-gamma is expressed by Th1 lymphocytes, it polarizes the T cell response towards Th1 in a positive feedback loop by inducing Th1 differentiation from Th0 cells, while suppressing Th2 differentiation. Measurements of IFN-gamma can be used to identify T-cell driven pathology. Read More...
