Spleen lymphocytes from normal subjects who suddenly died were used as cells producing gamma-interferon. One spleen yielded (3-8) X 10(8) viable cells which made it possible to prepare from 3 to 81 of splenocyte suspension culture. Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) and B (SEB) were used as gamma-interferon inducers. Stimulation of splenocyte suspension culture with SEA and SEB resulted in production of gamma-interferon with an average activity of 640-2560 units/ml. A partially purified interferon preparation with an activity of 2 X 10(4) units/ml was obtained by sorption of gamma-interferon on porous glass CPG-200-240 followed by elution with a buffer containing 50% ethylene glycol and Sephadex G-25 gel chromatography. As a result of 11 successive intramuscular immunizations of rabbits at 2-week intervals with a partially purified and concentrated preparation of gamma-interferon with Freund's complete adjuvant, blood serum was obtained which was capable of neutralizing 32 units of gamma-interferon up to a dilution of 1:128. The serum was highly specific: it showed no specific interaction with antigenic determinants of either natural alpha- and beta- or plasmid alpha-F and alpha-F/D human interferons.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

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
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
