Effects of Interferon and Its Inducers on Leucocytes and Their Immunologic Functions

  • Chapter
Interferons and Their Applications

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 71))

Abstract

In addition to the antiviral and anticellular effects caused by interferon, im-munomodulation mediated by interferon undoubtedly contributes to the inter-feron-induced resistance to overwhelming and sometimes fatal viral infections and also to regression or retardation of growth of certain tumors in animals and humans.
