Impaired antiviral response and alpha/beta interferon induction in mice lacking beta interferon.
We have generated mice lacking the gene for beta interferon and report that they are highly susceptible to vaccinia virus infection. Furthermore, in cultured embryo fibroblasts, viral induction of alpha interferon and of 2-5A synthetase genes is impaired. We also show that beta interferon does not prime its own expression.
متن کاملImpaired induction of type II interferon in tumor-bearing mice.
The response of mice to type II interferon inducers such as purified protein derivative of tuberculin or OK-432 was significantly impaired after either the implantation of tumor cells or the injection of cell-free tumor ascitic fluids. Complete inhibition of type II interferon induction occurred in 3 to 5 days. This inhibitory effect persisted until the death of mice implanted with tumors or fo...
متن کاملThe antiviral response to gamma interferon.
A role for alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) in the IFN-gamma antiviral response has long been suggested. Accordingly, possible roles for autocrine or double-stranded-RNA (dsRNA)-induced IFN-alpha/beta in the IFN-gamma response were investigated. Use was made of wild-type and a variety of mutant human fibrosarcoma cell lines, including mutant U5A cells, which lack a functional IFN-alpha/be...
متن کاملInhibition by estrone of the antiviral protection and interferon elicited by interferon inducers in mice.
The susceptibility of mice to infection with MM virus is markedly increased after treatment with the sex hormone estrone. Studies were undertaken to determine if either suppression of production or interference with the action of interferon was involved in this phenomenon. The protection of mice against MM virus infection by several interferon-inducing agents was partially impeded by estrone tr...
متن کاملMice lacking the gamma interferon receptor have an impaired granulomatous reaction to Schistosoma mansoni infection.
The egg-induced granulomatous reaction in Schistosoma mansoni-infected individuals develops within the portal system of the liver and is the major pathological finding in schistosomiasis. We have infected mice lacking the gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) receptor with S. mansoni larvae and studied the development of hepatic granulomas in these mutant mice in comparison to that in control wild-type ...
