A comparison was made between interferon production by fibroblasts obtained from the excision of muscular tissue in suddenly deceased infants (SIDS) and that from children operated on at the surgical and orthopedic clinics. While the fibroblasts obtained from the surgically treated children formed interferon in a great quantity, the fibroblasts collected from suddenly deceased children generally failed to produce any interferon.
