Interferons are naturally occurring proteins that are classified into three major classes - alpha, beta, and gamma. Interferon alpha, beta and gamma have overlapping yet different biologic activities. Two therapeutic forms of interferon beta are available - interferon beta-1a, produced in mammalian cells, and interferon-beta-1b, produced in bacterial expression systems Interferon beta-1a is a glycoprotein of 166 amino acids. It has 3 cysteines at positions 17, 31 and 141, a single disulfide bridge and an N-linked carbohydrate moiety primarily of the biantennary complex type attached to asparagine (Asn)-80. Interferon beta- 1a has a molecular weight of approximately 22500 Da, identical to the natural human interferon beta, and is produced by recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology. Interferon beta is a cytokine with antiviral and immunomodulating activities. Interferon beta-1a is a form of recombinant human interferon used to slow disease progression and treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease, in adults.
