(Redirected from Avonex). Interferon beta 1a (also interferon beta 1-alpha) is a cytokine in the interferon family used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS). It is produced by mammalian cells, while interferon beta 1b is produced in modified E. coli.nterferons are not a cure for MS (there is no cure); the claim is that interferons may slow the progress of the disease if started early and continued for the duration of the disease. Interferon beta 1a is sold under the trade names Avonex (Biogen) and Rebif (Merck Serono), (Pfizer); CinnoVex (CinnaGen) is biosimilar.
