Abstract
PREVIOUS work1 has shown that the intravenous injection of large numbers of live Brucella abortus into chickens results in the appearance in the serum of a viral inhibitor with the properties of interferon. Inhibitor reached maximum levels about 12 h after inoculation. It was also reported that large numbers of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) particles produced maximum levels of interferon in chickens about 12 h after intravenous inoculation. Injection of large doses of other gram-positive and -negative bacteria or bacterial endotoxins failed to produce demonstrable inhibitors in the circulation of chickens at 6–8 h.
