title: [Interferon inducers--from theory to practice].
abstract: The authors present up-to-date information concerning different inducers of different interferon types in vivo and in vitro. Interactions between the structure and interferon-inducing activity of high and low molecular weight inducers are in the focus of this paper. There are also a lot of data, concerning different biological properties of interferon-inducing compounds. Different aspects of inducers use as antiviral and immunomodulating drugs are also discussed.
