Interferon: an inducer of macrophage activation by polyanions
Abstract
Purified mouse fibroblast interferon (IF) directly rendered resting macrophages tumoricidal. The physicochemical properties and species specificity of the stimulatory agent fall within the present definition of IF. Since a number of polyanions induce macrophage IF, the antitumor and antimicrobial activities may result from the ability of newly released IF to modify macrophage activity.
