title: Interferon determinations in evaluating the immune response.
abstract: IFNs are natural regulatory proteins with a variety of activities. The presence of IFN in the sera and the ability of lymphoid cells to produce IFN in vitro can be useful in the analysis of certain immunologically-mediated disorders. Moreover, analysis of the IFN system may be a very sensitive way to monitor chemically induced changes in immunity.
