Abstract
Infection of fibroblast-like synovial cells with Chlamydia trachomatis (serotype D strain IC Cal 8) in culture induced the secretion of beta interferon (IFN-beta). Chlamydial infection inhibited IFN-gamma-induced expression of HLA-DR antigen in the cells. Addition of IFN-beta antibody directly to infected cultures mitigated HLA-DR inhibition, suggesting involvement of produced IFN-beta.Entities:
