Neutralization of the Phagocytosis-Enhancing Acitivity of Interferon Preparations by Anti-Interferon Serum

Robert M Donahoe 1, Kun-Yen Huang 1
PMCID: PMC422709  PMID: 4713697

Abstract

A wide variety of distinctive mouse interferon (IF)-containing preparations consistently exhibited the phagocytosis-enhancing activity reported previously. The enhancing as well as the antiviral activity of IF preparations were neutralized by a highly specific anti-IF serum.
