ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns novel peptides of gamma interferon (IFN.gamma.) and methods of use of these peptides. Specifically exemplified are peptides from the C-terminus of IFN.gamma.. The subject peptides, once internalized into a cell, have biological activity which is comparable to the full-length IFN.gamma. protein.
