| Abstract: | The data of the study of alpha/beta interferon (IFN) effect in mice of different genotype were presented. CBA mice of H-2k genotype, C57B1/6 mice of H-2b genotype and their hybrid (CBA X C57B1/6) F1 have been used in the experiments. IFN has been injected intraperitoneally in a dose of 100-5000 U/mouse in combination with antigenic stimulation. It was shown that IFN enhanced stem cells migration from bone marrow in CBA, but not in (CBA X C57B1/6)F1 mice. At the same time the splenocytes from CBA mice were more sensitive to inhibition by IFN than splenocytes from C57B1/6 mice. This was found in antibody and immune rosette-formation tests. The effect of IFN on the immune system cells is probably predetermined by the individual genetic characteristics of a mouse strain. |
