Abstract

A culture supernatant of concanavalin A-activated spleen cells (Con A supernatant) induced murine macrophages to express Ia antigens in vitro. Biochemical characterization of the Con A supernatant indicated that the macrophage Ia antigen regulatory activity shares molecular weight, pI, and hydrophobic and affinity characteristics with immune interferon (IFN-gamma). Antiserum to mouse IFN-gamma neutralized both the macrophage Ia antigen regulatory and IFN-gamma bioactivities of the Con A supernatant. Furthermore, both partially purified murine IFN-gamma (10(7) U/mg protein sp act) and IFN-containing culture supernatants of the murine BFS T cell line-induced macrophage Ia antigen expression in vitro. Culture supernatants containing colony-stimulating factor, interleukin 1, interleukin 2, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, and a macrophage-activating activity that were distinct from IFN-gamma did not induce macrophage Ia antigen expression. Taken together, the data indicate that the in vitro expression of Ia antigens on macrophages is regulated by an activity that has the characteristics of interferon.

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.
