Regulation by endogenous interferon of virus-induced cytokine gene expression in mouse macrophages.

Abstract excerpt

In macrophages from inbred mice the magnitude of the interferon (IFN) response to Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection is under genetic control of the locus If-1, with C57BL/6 carrying the 'high-producer' allele If-1h whereas BALB/c have the 'low-producer' allele If-1l. The IFN produced consists of 90% IFN-beta and there are 10-fold differences between macrophages from If-1h and If-1l mice. Recently, we...
