The requirements for interferon (IFN)-induced priming of murine peritoneal macrophages for cytolysis of tumor cell lines of distinct histological origin were investigated. Lysis of B16 melanoma targets required exposure of elicited macrophages to recombinant murine gamma interferon plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) together, while sequential treatment of macrophages with IFN-gamma then LPS resulted in lysis of P815 mastocytoma targets. The kinetics of macrophage activation by IFN-gamma and LPS for lysis of P815 and B16 melanoma targets varied considerably, 8 h being sufficient for P815 targets but 24 h being required for B16 targets. Pretreatment of the macrophages with the antibiotic polymyxin B was able to inhibit completely the induction of tumor lysis of B16 targets but not of P815 targets. In addition, IFN-alpha/beta was able to prime macrophages for lysis of P815 targets but not of B16. Finally, the kinetics of priming macrophages with IFN-gamma for lysis of B16 targets had a profound effect on the subsequent exposure time requirement for LPS. The results indicate that the induction of murine macrophage-mediated tumor cytotoxicity can vary considerably depending on the amount and type of interferon used, the presence of a second signal, and the type of tumor target used. |
