Cultured rat sympathetic neurons die within 48 h after being deprived of nerve growth factor. Addition of interferons (IFN-.alpha./.beta. or IFN-.gamma.) prevented the cell death in a dose-dependent manner. Upon longer periods of nerve growth factor deprivation, IFNs failed to maintain survival. Thus, IFNs retarded neuronal death, but did not prevent it. Ligand binding, autoradiography, and cross-linking experiments demonstrated the presence of specific IFN-.gamma. receptors on sympathetic neurons similar to those seen on other cell types. The possible relationships of the death-suppressing actions of IFNs are compared to the mechanisms of the antiviral or antiproliferative actions of IFNs.
