[The modulation of the interferon system by gamma-globulin preparations]
Abstract:
Preparations of specific and commercial gamma-globulin against hepatitis A virus caused a marked inhibition of alpha- and gamma-links of the IF system 7 days after administration. In 80% of the subjects given commercial gamma-globulin 14 days after administration the above values returned to those observed before administration of the preparations. The recovery of the leukocyte capacity for alpha-IF production after administration of specific gamma-globulin was observed only in 50% of the subjects examined, while inhibition of the gamma-link of IF system persisted for 14 days (50%) or showed a poor trend to restoration not reaching the initial levels.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
