Abstract
Natural consequences of knowledge of the mechanisms that regulate immune responses are the attempts to modify the immune system in order to increase resistance to infectious diseases and to enhance activity against tumor cells. This review describes the roles of interferons and interleukins in immune responses and reviews the experience with transfer factor in treatment of certain diseases.
