Abstract
Isaacs and Lindemann, in England, first characterised interferon (IFN) in 1957 and coined the word to signify a protein, elaborated by virus-infected cells, that functions to prevent their infection by a second virus [108]. However, difficulties with chemical isolation and characterization led to great skepticism about the molecule's existence; indeed, the scientific community dubbed the discovery 'imaginon' [192]. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.
