Abstract

Mice which had been subjected to mycobacterial infection and specific elicitation were bled from the orbital sinus at the time the mice were challenged intravenously with vaccinia virus. Assays of the sera were negative for interferon. Sera of rabbits sensitized with staphylococci and elicited by Staphage Lysate also lacked detectable circulating interferon.
