Abstract
The attenuated American BT-8 strain of bluetongue virus is 5 to 10 times more potent an interferon inducer than any other viral or nonviral agent reported to date, including as much as 600,000 units/ml of plasma by 8 h after intravenous injection.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
