Fetal Response to Viral Infection: Interferon Production in Sheep

James C. Overall Jr. 1 and Lowell A. Glasgow 1

1 Departments of Microbiology and Pediatrics, University of Rochester School of Medicine, Rochester, N.Y.

There was no evidence of transplacental transfer of interferon between mother and fetus in either direction.
