title: Interferon pretreatment regulates interferon and interleukin-6 production in L929 cells in a coordinated manner.
abstract: Two sublines of L929 cells with different interferon (IFN)-producing capacities synthesized IFN and interleukin-6 (IL-6) simultaneously in response to Sendai virus infection. IFN pretreatment primed the production of both cytokines. However, the difference in IL-6 production between the "high and low producer" L-cell sublines was about one magnitude of order larger than in the case of their IFN production. The determination of the corresponding mRNA levels also reflected this difference.
