Assessment of the interferon-like activity in preparations of leukocyte pyrogen. 1979

D S Elfenbein, and P A Murphy, and P J Chesney, and D S Seto, and D H Carver

Preparations of crude leukocytes from rabbit peritoneal exudates contain interferon-like activity which may be separated from pyrogen activity both by Sephadex chromatography and by purification of the pyrogen. This indicates that, despite some similarities, leukocyte pyrogen is not an interferon.

D007372 Interferons Proteins secreted by vertebrate cells in response to a wide variety of inducers. They confer resistance against many different viruses, inhibit proliferation of normal and malignant cells, impede multiplication of intracellular parasites, enhance macrophage and granulocyte phagocytosis, augment natural killer cell activity, and show several other immunomodulatory functions. Interferon
