Abstract
Assuming that the majority of readers will be clinical investigators we tried to anticipate what such a specialist may expect to find in this chapter. We concluded that a detailed description of current methods of interferon preparation would not be within the context of this book*. Rather than burden the reader with technical details we decided to give an overview with emphasis on advantages and disadvantages of current production methods and present information about the origin, status of supply, and purity of currently available interferon preparations. Aspects of product quality we assumed would be of foremost importance. Such information we believe will help in the planning of various clinical studies and in the interpretation of results.
An up-to-date and detailed description of production and purification methods is found in Methods in Enzymology, 78, S. Pestka, eds., Academic Press, 1981.
