Cells from the human monocytic cell-line THP1 were incubated prior to activation with IFN-gamma or LPS with varying amounts of p24, the main product of the HIV gag gene and the major component of the virus core. The IFN-gamma-dependent increase of mRNA for HLA-DR and for the heavy chain of cytochrome b was markedly decreased by p24 but not by gp120. This effect was abrogated by anti-p24 antibodies. On the other hand, preincubation of THP1 cells with p24 did not affect the accumulation of the LPS-dependent mRNA for TNF alpha and IL1-beta. These results indicate that p24 at concentrations similar to those found in the serum of HIV-infected individuals specifically affects IFN-gamma-induced activation markers.
