A convenient assay for interferons based on reduction of cytopathic effect was developed. The number of manipulations and the lengths of the various incubation steps were reduced to a minimum. The assay is simple to perform and can be completed within 16 h. Moreover, it can be used with various types of cells and a variety of viruses.
