Restoring thymic function: Then and now.

abstract：:Interferon (IFN)-alpha and -beta are important antiviral mediators. IFN-alpha is widely used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. In our previous studies, a subtype of woodchuck IFN-alpha (wIFN-alpha) was characterized and has been shown to be active in suppressing the replication of woodchuck hepatitis virus (WH...
