  • 摘要:Thyrotropin (10 muM) inhibited the antiviral activity of interferon. When added after interferon, thyrotropin (TSH) had no effect on antiviral activity. There was also no inhibition of interferon action in cells washed with medium between incubations with TSH and interferon. 125I-Labeled TSH and 125I-labeled cholera toxin could bind to preparations of mouse L-cell plasma membranes. The binding was specific in that it was prevented by unlabeled thyrotropin or cholera toxin, but not by insulin, glucagon, prolactin, growth hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, or luteinizing hormone. Mouse interferon inhibited 125I-labeled TSH binding to L-cell plasma membranes. The effect of mouse interferon on 125I-labeled cholera toxon binding was more complex, inhibition occurring only after an initial enhancement at low interferon concentrations. A 10-fold higher concentration of interferon was required to inhibit 125I-labeled TSH binding. Mouse interferon was also able to displace bound 125I-labeled TSH, but not bound 125I-labeled cholera toxin. The interferon interaction with cell membranes was temperature-sensitive. Human interferon could induce changes in binding of 125I-labeled TSH and 125I-labeled cholera toxin to mouse L-cell plasma membranes similar to those induced by mouse interferon. Mouse interferon induced similar changes in plasma membranes of human KB-3 cells, which are insensitive to both human and mouse interferons. In view of these results, the species specificity of interferons does not appear to reside solely at the point of the initial interaction with their binding sites.
