Abstract

Antiviral and macrophage-priming activities in the supernatant medium of a subclone of a concanavalin A-stimulated mouse T-cell hybridoma were investigated. The two activities were associated with a molecular weight of approximately 50,000 and could not be separated by various approaches. Both activities were eliminated by a highly specific neutralizing antibody against mouse interferon-gamma, but not by antibody against interferon-alpha and -beta. The ratio of priming to antiviral activity in the hybridoma culture supernate was indistinguishable from the ratio obtained with mouse interferon-gamma prepared by recombinant DNA technology. It was concluded from these data that the priming activity in hybridoma culture supernates was attributable to interferon-gamma and that this mediator is one form of the lymphokine macrophage-activating factor. Interferon-gamma was greater than 800 times more efficient at priming mouse macrophages for tumor cell killing than was a mixture of interferon-alpha and -beta. This finding contributes to growing awareness that type II interferon may have greater immunoregulatory potential than type I interferons.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
