 PROFILE
Interferon Sciences butts in when disease interferes with health. The company makes products based on natural alpha interferons, proteins made from human white blood cells that aid the body's natural defenses against diseases. Its ALFERON N is an FDA-approved injectable form of natural alpha interferon used to treat genital warts. The firm is also testing the product to treat HIV, hepatitis C, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions. A unit of Bergen Brunswig is ALFERON N's exclusive distributor. The company is developing an oral liquid drug to promote weight gain in AIDS patients, but is no longer developing a topical gel for intravaginal warts caused by the human papilloma virus.
