英《自然》杂志第295卷第5847期(1982年)报道:英国索尔兹伯里医学研究委员会的普通感冒研究小组重新将干扰素作为预防鼻病毒感染(普通感冒的原因之一)的试验。十多年前,该中心证明坎特尔(Kari Can-tell)在芬兰用人血制备的白细胞干扰素抗鼻病毒感染有效,但由于来源物昂贵而中断了进一步的研究。在遗传工程干扰素将可能降价 Nature 295, No. 5847 (1982) reported that the Common Cold Study Group of the Salisbury Medical Research Council in England re-used interferon as a test to prevent rhinovirus infection, one of the causes of the common cold . More than a decade ago, the center demonstrated that Kari Can-tell is effective in treating rhinovirus infection with human interferon prepared by human blood in Finland but discontinued further studies due to the high cost of the source material. Interferons in genetic engineering will probably lower prices
