Description:
Interferon derived from human leukocytes, human fibroblasts, and mouse fibroblasts was found to inhibit the motility of cultured cells. It inhibits the tumor-induced motility of capillary endothelial cells as well as the spontaneous migration of other cell types. The ability of a given preparation of interferon to inhibit the motility of a given cell type is proportional to its antiviral activity in that particular cell type. Antiserum to human leukocyte interferon neutralizes both the motility-inhibitory activity and the antiviral activity of this preparation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brouty-Boye, D -- Zetter, B R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 May 2;208(4443):516-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6154315" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
