title: Interferon--a system of medium quantity production for therapeutic use.
abstract: A relatively detailed outline for the medium scale production and purification of interferon is presented in the hope that it will prove useful to those immunologically orientated physicians who desire to avail themselves of a course of interferon in therapeutic quantities for use in selected patients. A system for interferon assay is discussed and the reader is referred to the bibliography for further details of the process. This system has proved to be a reliable source of interferon in a therapeutic quantity. Pitfalls and support systems are discussed with the view of assisting the investigator in avoiding the many errors and disappointments encumbered in the process and are derived from experience in the field to date.
