ABSTRACT This study was made to investigate the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) induced alpha interferon (IFN) production as a part of the immunological defense system in newborn infants.


Umbilical blood samples were taken directly after birth in 31 infants born after 24 - 42 gestational weeks. The leukocytes were isolated and IFN-production was induced using glutaraldehyde


fixed HSV infected human WISH-cells. The frequency of IFN-producing cells was determined by immuno-plaque technique. The proportion of IFN producing cells was 0.5/104 peripheral blood


leukocytes (PBL) in preterm infants. 4.3/104 PBL in term infants and 8.6/104 PBL in adults. The calculated IFN-production/IF N - producing cell was 1.2 U in preterm infants, 2.3 U in term


infants and 3.3 U in adults. Adding a supernatant from adult PBL induced for 6 hours by HSV-infected cells to the cultures increased the proportion of IFN-producing cells to 1.2/104 in


preterm infants and 8.1/104 in term infants. ARTICLE PDF AUTHOR INFORMATION AUTHORS AND AFFILIATIONS * Uppsala University and Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Interferon
