Contrasting effect of alpha/beta- and gamma-interferons on expression of macrophage Ia antigens
IFN-gamma is known to induce the expression of Ia antigens on macrophages. We found that murine IFN-alpha and -beta blocked the effects of IFN-gamma in a dose-dependent manner. The antagonistic effect of IFN-alpha and -beta was observed even when macrophages were prestimulated with IFN-gamma. These inhibitory effects of IFN-alpha or -beta were blocked by their respective antibodies. The block e...
متن کاملAlpha/beta interferons increase host resistance to murine AIDS.
Murine AIDS (MAIDS) is caused by a defective retrovirus present in the LP-BM5 murine leukemia virus mixture. Strains of inbred mice differ in resistance to MAIDS development; some are susceptible (e.g., C57BL/6), while others are resistant (e.g., CBA and B10.BR). As an early block to viral replication in resistant mice has been demonstrated previously by PCR studies, we postulated that alpha/be...
متن کاملActivation of neonatal and adult human macrophages by alpha, beta, and gamma interferons.
Increasing evidence suggests that gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) is the major or sole factor in human lymphokines which activates blood monocyte-derived macrophages (M phi) to inhibit or kill Toxoplasma gondii and certain other intracellular pathogens. In the current studies, we found that IFN-gamma effectively activated tissue M phi from adults (peritoneal M phi) and from newborns (placental M p...
متن کاملSynergistic antiviral and antiproliferative activities of Escherichia coli-derived human alpha, beta, and gamma interferons.
The antiviral and antiproliferative effects of highly purified Escherichia coli-derived human interferons (IFNs) were examined in human melanoma cells (Hs294T). Antiproliferative activity was monitored by measuring inhibition of cell multiplication, and antiviral activity was determined by inhibition of herpes simplex virus type 1 replication. Treatment of cells with IFN-gamma in combination wi...
متن کاملEffect of recombinant interferons alpha and gamma on human bone marrow-derived megakaryocytic progenitor cells.
Interferons (IFNs) have been shown to suppress the proliferation of human pluripotent hematopoietic progenitor cells, CFU-GEMM, and committed erythroid (BFU-E, CFU-E) and granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) progenitor cells. However, no information is yet available concerning the effect of IFNs on human megakaryocytic progenitor cells CFU-Mk. Furthermore the mechanisms underlying the inhibitory act...
