Interferons and Interferon Inducers
Abstract
The fascinating field of the interferons is thoroughly reviewed and brought up to date in this fine volume in the series,Frontiers of Biology. Though a multiauthored presentation, it contains surprisingly little redundancy, a compliment to the editor, N. B. Finter. Following a brief historical review that traces the development of the concept of interferons, a careful and revealing chapter presents the criteria that define a viral inhibitor as an interferon and a documented survey of the biological properties of those substances accepted as interferons. This is a particularly useful chapter, since it cites studies at various levels of observation from gross data on viral growth to intracellular information. Following are two chapters on interferon inducers, one on animal viruses and the second on nonviral substances that induce interferons. Together, these two chapters offer an insight into the problem. They also serve as fine starting points for those who wish

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
