title: Interferon production by bovine tracheal organ cultures infected with bovid herpesvirus 1 strains.
abstract: Studies have been made of antiviral inhibitors produced by bovine tracheal organ cultures inoculated with strains of bovid herpesvirus 1. The inhibitors, which had properties of interferon, were assayed by a plaque-reduction method in bovine turbinate cell cultures with vesicular stomatitis virus as challenge virus. Each of the four strains of bovid herpesvirus 1 studied induced interferon in bovine tracheal organ cultures.
