Leukocyte-derived interferons have been reported to enhance the functions of polymorphonuclear neutrophils. This study reveals no effect of the highly purified recombinant DNA-produced human interferon-alpha 2 on the oxidative, chemotactic, adherent, phagocytic, and bactericidal activities of human polymorphonuclear neutrophils in vitro.
