Abstract
Virus-type interferon is capable of suppressing the antibody response both in vivo and in vitro. Interferon induced by antigen or mitogen (immune interferon), primarily in T-lymphocytes, also appears capable of suppressing the antibody response. Cyclic AMP has a regulatory effect on the induction of both virus-type and immune interferon. The immunosuppressive effects of virus-type and immune interferon may differ at the cellular or subcellular level.
