Presence of pH2-sensitive circulating interferon among Callithrix jacchus marmosets.
Significant and relatively stable levels of serum-interferon were demonstrated in a Callithrix jacchus population. This circulating interferon was acid-sensitive in all cases, classifying it as immune or "gamma-type" interferon. Our results in these hematopoietic chimeras suggest that the presence of immune-type or at least pH 2-sensitive interferon could be related to the presence of two allogenic lymphocyte populations in each marmoset.
