Interferon induces proliferation and differentiation in primary chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells. 1985

K H Robert, and S Einhorn, and G Juliusson, and L Ostlund, and P Biberfeld

The influence of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) on the differentiation of malignant cells from six patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia was studied in vitro. IFN induced differentiation in the leukaemic cells from four of the patients. In cells from two of these patients, IFN also induced proliferation. When tested by immunofluorescence, the clonality of the differentiating cells was established by the presence of intracellular light chains of one type only.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
