Merger proposal

I propose merging Interferon type II into Interferon gamma. IFN gamma is the only member of the Interferon type II class, so information for the category and its sole member can easily be merged. The existing Interferon gamma page is the more comprehensive of the two, in my judgment. MrMSDS (talk) 15:40, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree - IFN gamma being the only Type IIIFN, the terms are today synonymous. 173.54.127.110 (talk) 17:06, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Therapeutic uses

Exactly how important is the brassica comment - it is not about interferon gamma and should be removed. Clearly an example of a scientist with a big ego trying to put their own work into wikipedia. 195.195.98.99 (talk) 17:30, 3 November 2008 (UTC) H[reply]

Generally, you should just be bold, but I agree and deleted that material. --Scray (talk) 03:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Interferon, alpha 1 which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 07:59, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 4 April 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Both moved. The first move restores the title which was agreed in a previous RM until it was moved without discussion earlier this year. The second has not been discussed or moved before, but the proposed name appears to be more common, is a better fit per MOS:ABBREVIATION, and also in the sprit of the aforementioned multi-move at Talk:Interferon alpha-1. No oppose votes after a full listing, so going ahead with the move. (non-admin closure) — Amakuru (talk) 12:33, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interferon-gamma → Interferon gamma
IL1B → Interleukin 1 beta

– Correct scientific nomenclature, full name in plain English. Mimi 822 453 233 (talk) 20:29, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
