Abstract:
:The influence of pretreatment with interferon (IFN) on subsequent IFN synthesis was investigated in macrophage cultures of DBA/2 and C57BL/6 mice. The doses of IFN alpha/beta for pretreatment ranged from 10,000 U/ml to 100 U/ml and the incubation time was between 18 and 2 h. No blocking effect was observed for chemical induction with poly I:poly C or CMA. However, for viral infection with NDV, blocking was observed. This inhibition of IFN synthesis was dependent on the dose and time of IFN pretreatment and of the titer of the inducing virus. Similarly in mouse fibroblast cultures no blocking activity was observed for induction with poly I:poly C/DEAE-dextran. Again, with NDV as inducer, pretreatment with IFN resulted in inhibition of interferon synthesis. Thus, our data show that blocking occurs only with a viral inducer and suggest that it is caused by an antiviral effect.
