[The effect of alpha/beta and gamma interferon preparations on the functional activity of macrophages in experimental staphylococcal infections]. / Vlianie preparatov interferon alpha/beta i gamma-tipov na funktsional'nuiu aktivnost' makrofagov pri éksperimental'noi stafilokokkovoi infektsii.

The preparations of alpha/beta- and gamma-interferons have been shown to stimulate the functional activity characteristics of mouse macrophages (phagocytosis, spreading, contacts with lymphocytes, bactericidal properties) obtained from the peritoneal exudate of intact animals and those infected with staphylococci. The immunomodulating action of gamma-interferon is more pronounced than that of the preparation of alpha/beta-interferon.
