title: [Effect of interferon on the increased reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT)].
abstract: Human leukocyte interferon (HL-IF) enhanced the NBT reduction of human peripheral neutrophil in vitro. Dose relation between IF activity and the NBT reduction was recognized. Heat-inactivated HL-IF, HL-IF neutralized by anti-IF serum or heterologous IF could not increase the NBT reduction.
