结构

干扰素-γ的单体是由六个α螺旋组成一个核心^[4]和在C端区延伸展开的片断序列。

生物活性的二聚体是由两个反平行相互锁定的单体形成。

生物活性

所有的细胞都可以产生干扰素-α（英语：Interferon alfa）和干扰素-β， 而干扰素-γ只由自然杀伤细胞（NK细胞）和活化的T细胞产生。I型干扰素对酸稳定，而干扰素-γ则遇酸变性。

干扰素-γ具有抗病毒、免疫调节及抗肿瘤特性^[5]。干扰素-γ可以与干扰素伽玛受体（英语：Interferon-gamma receptor）(IFNGR)结合，进而调节JAK-STAT通路。干扰素-γ激活抗原提呈细胞，通过上调转录因子T-bet而促进I型辅助T细胞(Th1细胞)的分化。

干扰素-γ是I型辅助T细胞(Th1细胞)的标志性的细胞因子。II型辅助T细胞(Th2细胞)释放白细胞介素-4（IL-4）和白细胞介素-13（IL-13）。自然杀伤细胞和CD8⁺T细胞也产生干扰素-γ。干扰素-γ通过迅速降解RANK-RANKL信号通路的TRAF6而抑制破骨细胞形成。

治疗用途

干扰素可以用来治疗传染病，但也能促成自体免疫。在接受干扰素伽玛治疗的病人中，多达19%的病人会有自体免疫.

干扰素IFNγ用于猪生殖与呼吸道综合症PRRSV的治疗上，有试验发现干扰素IFNγ能活化先天免疫细胞，进而达到抑制病毒数量的效果。^[6]

A型流感的治疗上，也有小鼠试验表现出当缺失干扰素后，流感感染小鼠死亡率大幅提升且体内病毒数量维持高浓度水平；相较之下，体内有干扰素存在的小鼠，流感病毒数量随着干扰素的生成而逐渐下降。^[7]
