Abstract: Interferon-γ (interferon gamma, IFN-γ) known as type Ⅱ interferon or immune interferon is a kind of interferons which secreted mainly by activated T cells and NK cells. As one of the most important cytokines in animal body, IFN-γ is the major macrophage-activating factor (MAF) which has the abilities of immunolo-regulation, antivirus, anti-tumor and so on. At present, more and more attention has been payed on the research of gene engineering and gene therapy using interferon, and interferon has already been used for the researches both on clinical therapy of human disease and prevention and control of animal disease. In this paper, we reviewed the characteristic, biological activity and detection method of IFN-γ, and subsequently the application of IFN-γ in the research of PRRS was also mentioned.

Key words: interferon gamma; biological activity; porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome
