Is interferon tissue specific?- Effect of human leukocyte and fibroblast interferons on the growth of lymphoblastoid and osteosarcoma cell lines

S Einhorn et al. J Gen Virol. 1977 Jun.

Abstract

The growth inhibitory effect of human leukocyte and fibroblast interferons was tested in vitro. The effect of fibroblast interferon was more pronounced on osteosarcoma cells and the effect of leukocyte interferon was more pronounced on lymphoid cells. This suggests that the capacity of interferon to inhibit cell growth is, in some measure, tissue specific.
