title: Production of interferon by immune lymphocytes exposed to herpes simplex virus-antibody complexes.
abstract: Splenic leukocytes from rabbits immunized with herpes simplex virus (HSV) incorporated significant amounts of 3H-TdR and produced interferon after in vitro incubation with  HSV antigens. In contrast, splenic leukocytes from nonimmune rabbits did not incorporate 3H-TdR or produce interferon when incubated with HSV antigens. Antigen-antibody complexes consisting of HSV antigens and anti-HSV antibody also were capable of stimulating immune leukocytes to incorporate 3H-TdR and to produce interferon.
