Abstract
Evidence that interferon-γ may be a physiologic macrophage-activating factor, and that macrophage activation may be defective in lepromatous leprosy, led us to test the effects of intradermal injection of low doses of recombinant interferon-γ in six patients with this disease.This publication has 52 references indexed in Scilit:
