Natural mediators of physiological interferon synthesis.
Resident peritoneal cells of BALB/c mice were found to release two types of mediators influencing physiological interferon synthesis, a nondialysable stimulator and a dialysable low molecular inhibitor. The influence of macrophage secreted, biologically active substances on interferon production is discussed. Their participation in the induction of physiological interferons is considered.
