Cloning and analysis of a gene encoding ovine interferon alpha-II.
A gene encoding ovine interferon alpha (IFN alpha) was identified from an ovine liver genomic library. Based on nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequencing analyses, this gene appears to code for an IFN of the alpha II family different from the ovine embryonic IFNs found to date.
