Disclosed is a new material having antiviral activity designated interferon epsilon. The material may be produced, for example, by exposing primary, diploid human epithelial cells to a virus and then incubating the cells under conditions in which the new interferon is produced and is secreted into the culture medium. The material is antigenically distinct from interferon alpha, interferon beta, and interferon gamma, and displays marked antiviral activity in human epithelial cells but no detectable activity in other cell types.
