While interferon beta-1b (IFN-β-1b) is still a commonly used disease-modifying drug in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), therapeutic possibilities are expanding, and treatment failure should be identified early. Markers to predict response to IFN-β-1b, either clinical or biochemical, are therefore urgently needed. Interferon-induced proteins, including viperin, suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), ubiquitin specific peptidase-18 (USP18), and myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA), are possible markers of IFN-β-1b bioavailability and treatment response.
