Abstract
Immune interferon (interferon-γ) is induced in leukocytes as a result of the influence of specific bacterial or viral antigens. The addition of oestrogen preparations to interferon biosynthesis growth media is considered to be a very important factor for the intensification of interferon synthesis. In order to study the influence of synthetic oestrogens on the synthesis of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in human blood leukocytes, diethylstilbestrol (in the form of the soluble sodium salt of a diphosphoric acid ether, cf. Honvan) was used. There was a twofold increase of interferon titre in comparison with control tests.
