Interferon Production in Mixed Lymphocyte Cell Cultures

George E Gifford 1, Agnes Tibor 1, Duane L Peavy 1
PMCID: PMC416123  PMID: 16557935

Abstract

Mixed lymphocyte cultures from mice with marked differences in major and minor histocompatibility antigens were found to produce an inhibitor of viral replication with properties of interferon. Cultures produced maximal amounts of interferon at approximately 72 to 96 hr, a time when maximal stimulation of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis also occurred.
