Immune human lymphocytes produce an acid-labile α-interferon

We have described in this paper a novel human interferon (IFN) with antigenic and cross-species reactivity of α-IFN and physicochemical properties of γ-IFN. This IFN is produced by normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells during an immune response but has also been associated with autoimmune diseas...

Descripción
Sumario:We have described in this paper a novel human interferon (IFN) with antigenic and cross-species reactivity of α-IFN and physicochemical properties of γ-IFN. This IFN is produced by normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells during an immune response but has also been associated with autoimmune disease (10). The system described here will be useful in elucidating the biological significance and cell of origin of this IFN.
