We investigated the effect of interleukin (IL)-2, a T cell growth factor capable of activating certain macrophage functions, on interferon (IFN)-gamma expression in resting mouse peritoneal macrophages (PM).

It is notable that endogenous type I and II IFNs did not play any role in the IL-2-mediated effect, as...
