Amplification of poly(I:C)-Induced Interleukin-6 Production in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells by Priming With Interferon-γ

Researchers showed that pretreatment of human bronchial epithelial cells with interferon-γ markedly increased IL-6 production induced by the toll-like receptor 3 agonist poly(I:C) from 0.4 ± 0.1 to 4.1 ± 0.4 ng/mL.
