Table 1.

IFN-α response to NDV of human normal cells and tumor cells

Representative example	IFN-α (pg/ml)^a
Representative example	Normal cells (adherent PBMCs)^b	Tumor cells (MCF-7)^c
+UV-inactivated NDV Ulster	86,431	<10
+Live NDV Ulster	77,210	55
Effects	Independent on viral replication	Dependent on viral replication
IFN-α titers	High	Low

^aCells (PBMCs or MCF-7) were coincubated for 3 days with 60 HU/10⁷ cells of either live or UV-inactivated NDV, and then supernatants were tested by ELISA for IFN-α content

^bThe major cell type producing IFN-α in PBMCs is the NIPC

^cA human breast carcinoma cell line
