โฆ Synopsis
Three incremental doses of recombinant a-interferon (IF) were applicd iontophoretically to hippocampal and hypothalamic cells. IF produced a dosc-dependent long-lasting excitation in hippocanipal neurons, whereas, in the hypothalamus 01-IF elicited biphasic responses. The highest IF currents induced changes in the amplitude of the action potentials on both structures. Our observations suggest that IF could have a selective effect on the specific areas studied.
