Published: July 1989

The effect of four antihistamines (Intal, Zaditen, Tavegyl, Benzhydramine) on interferon production in mice was investigated. The agents were administered in vivo to ovalbumin-sensitized and non-sensitized mice, or in vitro to isolated peritoneal cell cultures. The cells were induced for interferon production with Newcastle virus. It was shown that Tavegyl and Benzhydramine, both after in vivo and in vitro administration, inhibit interferon production, while Intal and Zaditen had no effect.
