Interferon-stimulated gene
An interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) is a gene whose expression is stimulated by interferon.[1] The protein products of these genes control pathogenic infections.
ISG have been subdivided into type I (stimulated by IFN alpha, beta), type II (IFN gamma) and type III (IFN lambda).
