## Abstract Although interferon (IFN)βΞ± and IFNβΞ³ have been reported to exhibit a synergistic antiviral effect through the different signaling pathways in vitro, their therapeutic efficacy is not well defined in vivo. The current study was carried out to investigate the combined antiviral effect in
## Abstract Spleen cells from mice of 6 different strains were stimulated with pokeweed mitogen and the amount of Ξ³ interferon in the supernatants was measured. Three strains (BALB/c, A/J and C3H/He) were found to be low producers (less than 50 units) whereas three other strains (C57BL6, CBA and AK
Murine interferon (IFN) inhibited the growth of 3/3 human tumour xenografts growing in nude mice. This inhibition was independent of the sensitivity of the xenograft to human IFN. In contrast to human IFN, the murine IFN did not directly affect the human tumour cells in vitro as measured by levels o
