Background

Interferon beta (IFN-beta ), also known as fibroblast IFN, is a secreted, approximately 22 kDa member of the type I interferon family of molecules (1). Mature human IFN-beta shares 47% and 46% amino acid sequence identity with the mouse and rat proteins, respectively. Fibroblasts are the major producers of IFN-beta , but it can also be produced by dendritic cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells in response to pathogen exposure (2). It is transcriptionally regulated by TRAF3, IRF3, IRF7, and NF-kappa B (3, 4). Following secretion, IFN-beta signals through the heterodimeric IFN-alpha / beta Receptor and activates the JAK/STAT signaling pathway (5-8). IFN-beta -deficient mice show increased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a disease model of human multiple sclerosis (MS) (9). Furthermore, IFN-beta has been shown to suppress the Th17 cell response in both MS and EAE and has commonly been used as a treatment for MS (10-14).
