Abstract

Nucleated bone-marrow cells of mice, rats, guinea pigs, hens, cows, and man are shown to be capable of producing interferon on induction with Newcastle disease virus in vitro. Interferon production by these cells was characterized by high stability. Bone-marrow interferon is not inferior in its activity to interferon obtained by the use of blood leukocytes and spleen cells.
