[Interferon-inducing activity of amixin and its effect on the interferon status]

The national preparation amixine induces interferon (IF) production in most of the people who have background values of serum IF. When the initial values of serum IF are high, after administration of amixine they decline to the background ones. A certain group of subjects (approximately 25%) is not sensitive to amixine. The IF content in the blood serum of such subjects does not change before or after administration of amixine. Its use should be limited to 4-5 administrations weekly, because its longer use leads to the exhaustion of the IF system in people.
