Background

 

Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ, also known as type II interferon) is an important immunoregulatory cytokine that was originally identified because of its anti-viral activity. It plays key roles in host defense by exerting antiviral, antiproliferative and immunoregulatory activities. On many cell types, IFN-γ induces the production of cytokines and upregulates the expression of various membrane proteins including class I and II MHC antigens, Fc receptors, leukocyte adhesion molecules and B7 family antigens. IFN-γ is a potent activator of macrophage effector functions. It potentiates the secretion of immunoglobulins by B cells, and directs the synthesis of IgG. IFN-γ also influences T-helper cell phenotype development by inhibiting Th2 differentiation and stimulating Th1 development. Finally, IFN-γ promotes mononuclear cell chemotaxis by inducing the synthesis of CXCL9, CXCL10, CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, and CCL5. IFN-γ is produced by a number of cell types, including dendritic epidermal/ T cells (6), keratinocytes, peripheral blood T cells, mast cells, neurons, CD8 T cells, macrophages, B cells, neutrophils (14), NK cells, CD4 T cells and testicular spermatids. The production of IFN-γ is upregulated synergistically by IL-12, IL-18, IL-23 and IL-27. Porcine IFN-γ cDNA encodes a 166 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 20 aa signal sequence that is cleaved to generate a 146 aa residue mature IFN-γ. Porcine IFN-γ is presumably a noncovalently linked homodimer. In the mature segment, porcine IFN-γ shares 60%, 55%, 41%, 42%, 72%, and 72% aa sequence identity with human, guinea pig, mouse, rat, feline, and canine IFN-γ, respectively.
