The gathering of avian influenza, scientists worry more about virus after "mankind" mutation agitator, spread from one person to another, thereby triggering a global pandemic. Held in Shanghai in yesterday's "international cytokine society of interferon and 2005 Annual Symposium," the experts revealed: scientists are working together to actively develop relevant vaccines and drugs. Which type of inhibition of interferon is regarded as the avian flu and SARS in important weapons.

And 1957 found interferon although unable to completely "annihilated" virus, it can suppress virus replication. Liu Xinyuan said that Chinese scientists are on the structure of interferon "adapted", with a view to obtaining a more powerful antiviral substances, hope and "avian influenza: a summary".
It is learnt that the interferon is actually a kind of cytokines, which are controlling cell growth, development, genetics, mutation, etc. Liu Xinyuan revealed that his lab use some type of cytokine: Il-24, and tumor necrosis factor "Super family" Member no. 10, at the same time the "combined" a scientist "correction" of adenovirus anticancer research. The results of the experiment found that new results to effectively kill the tumor, but does not hurt and "innocent" normal cells. Currently the project has entered the pilot phase.
