Recombinant feline interferon omega
Recombinant Feline Interferon Omega (rFeIFN-ω) is a type of Interferon used in Veterinary Medicine to treat various diseases in cats. It is a Biopharmaceutical product, produced through Recombinant DNA technology.
History[edit | edit source]
The development of Recombinant Feline Interferon Omega began in the late 20th century, as part of the broader field of Biotechnology. The goal was to create a version of Feline Interferon that could be produced in large quantities for use in veterinary medicine.
Production[edit | edit source]
Recombinant Feline Interferon Omega is produced using Recombinant DNA technology. This involves inserting the gene for feline interferon omega into a suitable host organism, such as a bacterium or yeast, which then produces the interferon as it grows and multiplies.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Recombinant Feline Interferon Omega is used in the treatment of various diseases in cats, including Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), and Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). It works by boosting the cat's immune response to these diseases.
