Av. Danilkovich et al., INHIBITION OF MITOGEN-STIMULATED PROLIFERATION OF HUMAN-LYMPHOCYTES IN-VITRO BY SYNTHETIC PEPTIDE-FRAGMENTS OF ALPHA-2 INTERFERON, Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 117(1), 1994, pp. 75-78
Human alpha-2 interferon and peptides representing parts of the amino-
acid sequence 124-138 of the IF molecule inhibit the proliferative res
ponse of peripheral blood lymphocytes from healthy donors in vitro ind
uced by ConA. It is shown that neither interferon alpha-2 nor biologic
ally active peptides change the level of interleukin-2 ConA-induced pr
oduction by human blood mononuclears.
