Entamoeba histolytica Extract and Interferon-Gamma Activation of Macrophage-Mediated Amoebicidal Function

Immunobiology, 1992
The effect of recombinant murine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and E. histolytica extract (E.h.E.) on macrophage (M phi) activation for amoebicidal activity was examined. Peritoneal macrophages were harvested from C57BL/6 and A/J mice and preincubated with IFN-gamma and/or E.h.E.
