Early studies on the mode of action of interferons have indicated that a receptor system on the cell surface is involved in its action. The first direct evidence to a high-affinity binding site was found only after pure interferon was available. Two different receptors, one specific for interferons-alpha and beta, and the other for interferon-gamma were recognized. A correlation between affinity to the receptor and specific activity was established. Cross-linked complexes of labeled interferons with their receptors were visualized on gel electrophoresis and even partially purified. Internalization of interferons after binding to the receptor was reported. The role of gangliosides as helpers of interferon binding was recently investigated. Fragments of interferons which still retained binding capacity were described and helped in elucidating the binding site on the interferon molecule.
