title: Biological effects of the interferons and other cytokines.
abstract: There were seven workshops that primarily concerned the biological effects of the interferons and the other cytokines. These were: Workshop 6, The refractory state in the response to interferons (IFNs) and antibodies in treated patients; Workshop 7, IFNs, multiple sclerosis, and the nervous system; Workshop 9, Viral inhibition of the response to IFNs and other cytokines; Workshop 10, Cell growth inhibition by IFNs and other cytokines; Workshop 12, Cytokines and cell death; Workshop 13, Interactions between cytokines; and, Workshop 14, Cytokine gene therapy. Summaries of each of these sessions follow.
