Cell cultures producing human interferon

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1981 Jul;20(1):1-4. doi: 10.1128/AAC.20.1.1.

Abstract

Most of 27 B-lymphoblast and 5 other cell lines derived from human leukocytes were found to produce human interferon either constitutively or after induction with Newcastle disease virus. Several produced relatively high levels of interferon after induction.
