Circulating interferon in rabbits and monkeys after administration of human gamma interferon by different routes. 1983

K Cantell, and S Hirvonen, and L Pyhälä, and A De Reus, and H Schellekens

Rabbits and rhesus monkeys were injected with 3 X 10(5) units of human gamma interferon (IFN) prepared in human leukocyte suspensions. Circulating IFN was detected up to 4 h after intravenous administration. Intramuscular injection maintained a relatively stable serum IFN level of about 50 units/ml for 7 to 9 h. The results in both species were similar. Little or no circulating IFN was detected after subcutaneous injection of 3 X 10(5) units, but 1.5 X 10(6) units maintained about 50 units per ml of serum for 30 h. Pharmacokinetically, human gamma IFN resembled human alpha interferons rather than human beta IFN.

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.
