RESUMO

Phytohemagglutinin-induced interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) was reported to act on mouse leukemic L1210 R cells resistant to IFN-alpha and -beta. Results reported here show that these cells are also sensitive to various preparations of murine IFN-gamma derived from different sources and purified to different degrees and that lymphokines present in the preparations are not involved in the antiviral effect of IFN. In addition, IFN-gamma preparation increases concanavalin A binding to L1210 S and L1210 R cells indicating that the sensitivity of L1210 R cells to IFN-gamma is not limited to its antiviral effect.
