Assay of Chick Interferons by the Inhibition of Viral Ribonucleic Acid Synthesis

Infectious Diseases Branch, Biosciences Division, USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, Brooks Air Force Base, Texas 78235

ABSTRACT

A method for assaying chick interferons by their inhibition of viral ribonucleic acid synthesis was devised and evaluated. The technique yielded results faster and had more flexibility than other methods with similar sensitivity and reproducibility.
