Interferon production in Propionibacterium acnes treated mice. 1986

M Cembrzyńska-Nowak, and E Jarońska, and I Zgórniak-Nowosielska

Interferonogenic properties of Propionibacterium acnes (PA) was studied in vivo and in vitro using CBA, BALB/c and 129AoBoy strains of mice. IFN was induced only in CBA strain after i.v. PA injection. BALB/c and 129AoBoy mice did not produce IFN. In the sera of CBA mice, obtained after i.p. injection of PA, interferon was not found. However, spleen cells of these mice produced IFN beginning from the 3rd day after injection. This interferon response lasted until the 10th week. Furthermore, in vivo studies showed enhancement effect of PA i.p. injection on IFN synthesis when NDV was introduced i.v. as inducer. The increased interferon level was also observed in the peritoneal cells isolated from PA--pretreated mice, induced in vitro with NDV or PA.

D007369 Interferon Inducers Agents that promote the production and release of interferons. They include mitogens, lipopolysaccharides, and the synthetic polymers Poly A-U and Poly I-C. Viruses, bacteria, and protozoa have been also known to induce interferons. Inducers, Interferon
D007372 Interferons Proteins secreted by vertebrate cells in response to a wide variety of inducers. They confer resistance against many different viruses, inhibit proliferation of normal and malignant cells, impede multiplication of intracellular parasites, enhance macrophage and granulocyte phagocytosis, augment natural killer cell activity, and show several other immunomodulatory functions. Interferon
