Differences in mouse interferons according to cell source and mode of induction.

N Maehara, M Ho, J A Armstrong

    Summary

    Mouse interferon properties vary by cell type. T and B lymphocyte interferons are heat-stable and less antigenic, unlike macrophage and embryo cell interferons, which are heat-labile and more antigenic.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Virology

    Background:

    • Interferons (IFNs) are crucial antiviral proteins.
    • Different cell types produce IFNs with varying characteristics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize mouse interferons produced by different cell types.
    • To investigate the properties of interferons induced by specific agents.

    Main Methods:

    • Induction of interferon in T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, macrophages, and mouse embryonic cells.
    • Analysis of interferon properties: heat stability, antigenicity, and chromatographic separation.
    • Use of ultraviolet-irradiated Newcastle disease virus and polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid as inducers.

    Main Results:

    • T and B lymphocyte interferons were heat-stable and had low antigenicity against anti-L-cell interferon (ALI).
    • Macrophage and mouse embryo cell interferons were heat-labile and highly antigenic against ALI.
    • Chromatography separated interferons into three components, with T/B cells producing component 1 and macrophages/embryo cells producing component 3.
    • Interferon induced by BCG-sensitized mice showed distinct acid lability.

    Conclusions:

    • Mouse interferon characteristics are cell-type dependent.
    • Heat stability and antigenicity correlate with interferon source (lymphoid vs. myeloid/embryonic cells).
    • BCG-induced interferon exhibits unique properties, differing from other induced interferons.
