Previously we reported the induction of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha mRNA in the liver of interferon (IFN)-gamma transgenic mouse, which might be the result of IFN-gamma gene expression. In the present study, IFN-gamma mRNA was induced in the liver, kidney and lung. TNF-alpha mRNA was, however, induced in the liver and kidney, but not in the lung. Induction of interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-1beta mRNA was lacking in any of these organs. The present result showed the induction of TNF-alpha mRNA expression in the kidney of transgenic mouse.

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. Interferon Type II,Interferon, Immune,gamma-Interferon,Interferon, gamma,Type II Interferon,Immune Interferon,Interferon, Type II
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D007376 Interleukin-2 A soluble substance elaborated by antigen- or mitogen-stimulated T-LYMPHOCYTES which induces DNA synthesis in naive lymphocytes.
