Growth inhibition of multiresistant enterococci by interferon-gamma-activated human uro-epithelial cells.
Nosocomial infections with enterococci are an increasing problem in modern medical practice due to the development of resistance to a wide range of antibiotics, including the glycopeptides vancomycin and teicoplanin. An increasing number of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have been cultured from clinical specimens -- especially from patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy -- and ba...

متن کاملHepcidin expression in human airway epithelial cells is regulated by interferon-γ
BACKGROUND Hepcidin serves as a major regulator of systemic iron metabolism and immune function. Airway epithelial cells have an extensive interface with the environment, and so must be able to respond locally to the presence of particulates, infection, and inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesized that hepcidin is expressed in airway epithelial cells and is regulated by early phase cytokines. ...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition of human lymphoblastoid cells by interferon preparations, obtained from human leukocytes.
The growth inhibition of human lymphoblastoid cells by human interferon preparations (HIF) and a mock-interferon preparation (Mock-IF) was studied. HIF was induced in suspensions of primary human leukocytes by Newcastle Disease Virus. Mock-IF was prepared from uninduced cell suspension of a comparable batch. The highest degree of inhibition of cell propagation was ob tained on the EBV producer...
متن کاملInhibition of growth of Chlamydia trachomatis by human gamma interferon.
Treatment of HEp-2 cell cultures with highly purified human gamma interferon before infection resulted in the reduction of Chlamydia trachomatis (L2/434/Bu) infectious particle yield. Electron microscope studies showed that interferon did not affect chlamydial conversion to reticulate bodies but influenced the extent of maturation to elementary bodies. High interferon concentrations (greater th...
