Are there Therapeutic Agents that Inhibit Interferons?
Some therapeutic agents are designed to inhibit interferon responses intentionally. For example, [immunosuppressive drugs]() used in organ transplantation can inhibit interferon responses to prevent graft rejection. However, this also increases the risk of infections. On the other hand, certain [autoimmune diseases]() might benefit from interferon inhibition as these diseases are often characterized by excessive interferon activity.
