    Title translation Interferon induction in lymphocytes using a bacterial lysate.
    Abstract A polyvalent bacterial lysate (IRS 19) could be shown to induce interferon (IFN) in peripheral mononuclear leukocytes isolated from human and mouse blood by density gradient centrifugation. Upon stimulation with optimal doses of the inducer, the cells of both species produced 1000 to 2000 IU IFN/ml when cultured for up to 72 hours. In both systems the interferon was released to the culture supernatants in a first wave from one to four hours after addition of the inducer and in a second beyond the 16th hour of incubation increasing up to 72 hours, this time, reaching a 10 fold higher titer.

    Abstract Peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes of 14 healthy blood donors stimulated by concanavalin A were shown to exhibit a biphasic pattern of the production kinetics of interferon. Maximum interferon titers were determined in the culture supernatants 8 and 48 h after addition of the mitogen. Both the early and late interferon production could be abolished by actinomycin D treatment of the induced cells implying that they depend on mitogen-stimulated de novo synthesis of cellular RNA. Under the conditions used the interferon mRNA was accumulated in treated cells during the first 4 h of incubation. The kinetics as well as the efficiency of concanavalin A-induced interferon production turned out to strictly depend on the nature of the protein source added to the culture medium. Only fetal calf serum and calf serum as compared to human albumin or pooled gamma globulin-free human plasma were found to give the highest interferon yields in true biphasic production pattern, thus explaining, at least in part, the differing data obtained by several investigators working with this particular interferon production system.

    Abstract Various chemotherapy regimens, combined with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(rhG-CSF) or recombinant granulocyte-macrophage CSF (rhGM-CSF) are used in cancer patients to mobilize and collect peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). In this retrospective study, we evaluated and compared the efficacy of such regimens in 262 patients with different types of malignant diseases. The following chemotherapy regimens were applied: ifosfamide-etoposide-cisplatin or bleomycin (n = 96; mainly patients with testicular cancer); ifosfamide-etoposide plus or minus cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) or vincristine (VCR)(n = 52; mainly patients with lymphoma); cyclophosphamide-anthracycline (n = 53; mainly patients with breast cancer); intermediate to high dose (ID-HD) cyclophosphamide (n = 37; mainly patients with breast or ovarian cancer. or multiple myeloma; and others (n = 24). rhG-CSF or rhGM-CSF, each at an average daily dose of 5 microg/kg body weight, were used in 166 and 96 patients, respectively. The study evaluated and compared the efficacy of these two cytokines. In patients receiving rhG-CSF, CD34+ cells could be collected earlier (median: day 14 versus day 16) and there was a significantly higher white blood cell count (WBC)(median 11,350 versus 5550/microl) and CD34+ cell count (median 88 versus 43/microl) at the start of apheresis, and a significantly higher CD34+ cell yield (median 7.4 x 10(6) versus 4.6 x 10(6)/kg) than in patients who receivedrhGM-CSF. Among the various chemotherapeutic regimens used, each combined with rhG-CSF, ifosfamide-etoposide plus or minus Ara-C or VCR mobilized a significantly higher number of CD34+ cells (median 119/microl) and produced a significantly higher harvest of these cells (median 13 x 10(6)/kg) than cyclophosphamide-anthracycline (median 87/microl and 7 x 10(6)/kg, respectively) or ID-HD cyclophosphamide (median 59/microl and 5 x I 0(6)/kg, respectively). Ifosfamide-etoposide plus or minus Ara-C or VCR was also superior to ifosfamide-etoposide-cisplatin or bleomycin (median 78/microl and 9 x 10(6)/kg, respectively), but at borderline significance. The outcome of PBSC mobilization and collection appeared to be negatively influenced by the number of relapses before the current salvage treatment. These data indicate that mobilization and collection of PBSCstrongly depend on the type of hematopoietic growth factor and chemotherapeutic regimen used. The data further show rhG-CSF is a more effective growth factor than rhGM-CSF and ifosfamide-etoposide-based regimens, particularly ifosfamide-etoposide plus or minus Ara-C or VCR, are highly effective regimens in mobilizing and collecting CD34+ cells.

    Abstract Interferon-like activity could be detected in the sera of nineteen psoriatic patients (interferon titres between 8 and 64 i.u./ml), whereas healthy controls were negative. Following PUVA treatment the interferon levels increased significantly (interferon titres between 32 and 128 i.u./ml). An enhanced interferon production could explain some of the immunological phenomena connected with PUVA treatment.

    Abstract Analogues of the dsRNA poly(I).poly(C), namely double-stranded like complexes of poly(I) or poly(C), respectively, with corresponding vinyl nucleobases copolymerized with various vinyl compounds are highly effective interferon inducers in human lymphocyte cultures. Like poly(I).poly(C) they stimulate the liberation of an inhibitor(s) of interferon activity and, moreover, display mitogenic effect. With respect to the extent of these effects the various inducers differ considerably.

    Abstract The kinetics of HLA-DR antigen expression by human peripheral blood monocytes during cultivation in vitro was studied. Immediately after separation by glass adherence, about 60% of monocytes expressed DR antigens as judged by indirect fluorescence staining with a monoclonal antibody (BL-DR/1). Monocytes carefully depleted of lymphocytes, gradually lost their DR antigens during cultivation in the absence of exogenous interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). However, addition of a few lymphocytes to the adherent cells prevented the decrease of DR antigen expression. Furthermore, it was shown that doses as low as 1 IU/ml of IFN-gamma are sufficient to induce DR antigen expression by cultured monocytes. Experiments with cyclosporin A suggest that lymphocytes contaminating the monocyte preparations can produce spontaneously sufficient amounts of IFN-gamma for maintenance of the DR antigens on monocytes.
