Abstract

Although acetylsalicylic acid does not itself induce interferon, acetylsalicylic acid was found to significantly enhance the production of both human alpha interferon and human gamma interferon when added with the appropriate inducers to cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The mechanisms associated with this effect were investigated.
