Disease relevance of IFNG

 

High impact information on IFNG

  • Protection was associated with marked increases in plasma levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), and relative increases of lymphoid cell messenger RNA coding for IFN-gamma and several other cytokines [6].
  • We speculate that rIL-12 protects monkeys through IFN-gamma-dependent elimination of P. cynomolgi-infected hepatocytes [6].
  • SIV-specific stimulation of lymphocytes from vaccinated macaques resulted in secretion of interferon-gamma, IL-2, regulated-upon-activation, normal T cells expressed and secreted (RANTES), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, and MIP-1beta but not IL-4 or IL-10 [7].
  • Macrophage/monocytes in vitro synthesized [13C6]quinolinic acid from [13C6]L-tryptophan, particularly when stimulated by interferon-gamma [8].
  • The LEA29Y-based regimen prevented the priming of anti-donor T- and B-cell responses, as detected by interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunospot and allo-antibody production, respectively [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of IFNG

 

Biological context of IFNG

 

Anatomical context of IFNG

  • We propose that SIV replication in vivo initiates IFN-gamma-driven positive-feedback loops in lymphoid tissues that disrupt the trafficking of effector T lymphocytes and lead to chronic local inflammation, thereby contributing to immunopathogenesis [2].
  • CONCLUSIONS: In this model, peritransplant induction of tolerance is promoted by efficient elimination of sessile lymph node T cells and control of the proinflammatory IFN-gamma response by a mechanism that appears to involve resistance to IL-12 [17].
  • Oral immunization of macaques with p55gag plus CT induced interferon-gamma-secreting Th1-type and select Th2-type cytokine-producing CD4+ T helper cells, which most likely accounted for the induction of p55-specific systemic IgG and mucosal IgA responses [18].
  • We also found a constitutively low expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II by cultured astrocytes which was significantly enhanced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) treatments [19].
  • Leukocyte TNF-alpha secretion in response to viral antigen and PBMC production of interferon gamma (IFNgamma), IL-6, and IL-10 following exposure to mitogen or antigen were unaffected by previous TCDD treatment [20].
 

Associations of IFNG with chemical compounds

  • DSG was shown to inhibit IL-12-driven IFN-gamma production by a mechanism associated with inhibition of nuclear factor kappa-B [17].
  • Kynurenine aminotransferase activity was measurable in all cell types examined but was unaffected by interferon-gamma [4].
  • This hypothesis is further supported by the findings that interferon-gamma significantly inhibits luteal basal and hCG-stimulated progesterone production and also stimulates basal and hCG-induced tPA activity [21].
  • Proliferative responses were observed with both isopentenylpyrophosphate and alendronate, but stronger interferon-gamma secretory responses were observed with isopentenylpyrophosphate [22].
  • Cryopreserved cells were as functional as fresh cells in heparinized blood samples and compared to EDTA, heparin was the better anticoagulant for yielding IFN-gamma+ cells [16].
 

Regulatory relationships of IFNG

 

Other interactions of IFNG

  • Elevated levels of IL-6 cDNA and, to a lesser extent, interferon gamma were detected in three of three nonhuman primates with persistent infection with B burgdorferi, whereas the brains of three uninfected animals and undetectable levels of gene expression of these cytokines [24].
  • Reactivity with the following antigens was assessed: MHC class I, II-DR, -DQ, and -DP antigens; leukocyte markers CD1, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD16, CD25, CD57; a proliferation associated nuclear antigen; interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha [25].
  • Our results suggest that TGF-beta 1 and its receptors may play an important regulatory role in maintaining CL function, and that IFN-gamma or TNF-alpha is capable of inhibiting their expression in the CL [23].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of IFNG

  • Samples of brain tissue were screened for IL-6 and interferon gamma using RT-PCR-ELISA, a technique that uses RT-PCR, subsequent hybridization of the PCR product with a biotinylated probe, and capture and ELISA readout of hybridization product [24].
  • Synergistic immunosuppressive effects of monoclonal antibodies specific for interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha. A skin transplantation study in the rhesus monkey [13].
  • The secreted proteins were revealed to have antiviral activity up to 10(8) units/ml characteristic of authentic IFNgamma by a bioassay of a cytopathic effect reduction assay [26].
  • Molecular cloning and expression of cynomolgus monkey interferon-gamma cDNA [26].
  • HIV-specific interferon-gamma-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses were measured before and after the fourth and fifth immunizations by both intracellular cytokine (ICC) and ELISPOT techniques; responses were detected in three of the four immunized animals [27].
