Method of producing an interferon-inducing substance, which comprises comminuting a protein source containing essential amino acids and also containing proteins of hetero-arrangement and being selected from the group consisting of glycoproteins, nucleoproteins, chromoproteins and phosphoroproteins, distributing the thus obtained particulate protein source in oil, uniformly heating the oil mixture at a temperature of 203.degree.-298.degree. C. to denature the protein source into material including the essential amino acids and material including the proteins of hetero-arrangement, and separating said material including the essential amino acids, said material constituting an interferon-inducing substance.
