Abstract
Increased amounts of cytochrome b-245 and a 45 kDa polypeptide component of the hydrogen peroxide-generating oxidase were detected in the human monocytic cell line U937 after incubation in interferon-gamma. The time course of increase in cytochrome b-245 paralleled the induction of oxidase activity. Induction of the 45 kDa component had a different time course, having a greater lag before increased amounts were seen.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
