Interferon Suppression
Any therapeutic or preventive precedure that involves inhibition of the production or activity of an interferon. This process may result also in inhibition of some functions of mature immune cells, including polymorphonuclear chemotaxis and monocyte phagocytosis. Interferon suppression is intended to favorably modulate functions of the immune system. (NCI Thesaurus)
