Production of interferon and other lymphokines during murine tumour growth. I. Lymphokines in cell--free fluid of rat Zajdela ascites hepatoma. 1980

W Zschiesche, and B Fahlbusch, and I Schumann, and V Lackovic, and L Borecký

Cell-free ascites of rat Zajdela hepatoma was assayed for the presence of lymphokine-like factors. Macrophage migration inhibitory and microbial growth inhibitory cytokines were detected with peak activities at day 4-8 and 10-11 after tumour inoculation, respectively. Occasionally, skin reactive activity was found, whereas only borderline titres of an interferon-like substance were demonstrated. Preliminary studies indicated that both migration inhibitory and microbial growth inhibitory factors are proteins resembling the corresponding lymphocyte-derived lymphokines. The cellular site of formation of these factors remains to be determined.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D007961 Leukocyte Migration-Inhibitory Factors Protein factor(s) released by sensitized lymphocytes (and possibly other cells) that inhibit the movement of LEUKOCYTES, especially polymorphonuclear cells, away from their site of release. Assays for these factors are used as tests for cellular immunity. Two of the common assays are the LEUKOCYTE MIGRATION CAPILLARY TUBE TECHNIQUE (LMCT) and the LEUKOCYTE MIGRATION AGAROSE TEST (LMAT).
