Immunoregulatory effects of interferon-alpha. I. Interferon-alpha inhibits in vitro antibody synthesis by normal human lymphocytes. 1985

B K Pelton, and A M Denman

The effects of human interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) on in vitro synthesis of specific anti-influenza virus antibody were measured in cultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes from normal donors. IFN-alpha suppressed antibody synthesis in a time and dose related manner. This suppression was also produced by monoclonal antibody purified IFN-alpha and was blocked by anti-IFN-alpha antibody. However antibody induced by a combination of antigen and 'B cell helper supernatant' was not suppressed indicating that IFN-alpha inhibits the initial events in antibody synthesis but does not affect cells committed to antibody production.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
