Inhibition of antigen-induced secretion in the rat jejunum by interferon alpha/beta.
Abstract
Intestine from rats sensitized to egg albumin (EA) antigen responds to EA challenge with an increase in short-circuit current (Isc), indicative of predominantly chloride secretion. Here, we have examined the role of interferon alpha/beta (IFN alpha/beta) in the control of this event. Muscle-stripped jejunal segments from sensitized rats, mounted in Ussing chambers, displayed a reduced response to EA-challenge in the presence of IFN alpha/beta …
