There is evidence that the spleen is one of the main sites of interferon synthesis (Heineberg, Gold & Robbins, 1964; Kono & Ho, 1965; Fruitstone et al. 1966). Other studies have shown that the role of the spleen is more important in the production of interferon in response to intravenously administered endotoxin than in the synthesis of virus-induced interferon (De Somer & Billiau, 1966; Borecky & Lackovic, 1967; Ito et al. 1971). Effects of X-irradiation and antilymphocyte serum on the levels of circulating interferon prompted the conclusion that peripheral blood lymphocytes take part in myxovirus-induced interferon production (De Maeyer, De Maeyer-Guignard & Jullien, 1969; De Maeyer-Guignard & De Maeyer, 1971).
