  • Title: Interferon production in glia and glioma cell lines.
    Author: Larsson I, Landström LE, Larner E, Lundgren E, Miörner H, Strannegård L.
    Journal: Infect Immun; 1978 Dec; 22(3):786-9. PubMed ID: 730383.
    Abstract:
    Interferon (IF) was produced in glia and glioma cell lines in titers comparable to those produced by human fibroblasts. It was inducible by both Sendai virus and polyriboinosinic:polyribocytidylic acid. "Superinduction" resulted in up to 500-fold-higher titers of IF. The IF appeared to be of the fibroblast type, as revealed by experiments using heat treatment, assay of antiviral activity in heterologous cell lines, and neutralization with specific antisera. Since large amounts of IF may easily be produced with glioma cell lines, such cells may be suitable for mass production of IF.
