Abstract
Gamma (immune, type II) interferon is an antiviral and immunoregulatory glycoprotein usually obtained from mitogen- or antigeninduced peripheral blood or splenic mononuclear cells. A human “helper-inducer” T-lymphocyte cell line (Mo) is an inducible source of gamma interferon. Mo gamma interferon has been biochem ically characterized and partially purified, and resembles the gamma interferon species derived from normal cell sources.
