Official Title: Effect of Interferon-gamma 1-b on Innate Immune Cells
Brief Summary: The investigators hypothesize that neutrophils and monocytes developed under the influence of Interferon- gamma-1b (IFN-γ-1b, Actimmune*) in vivo will display enhanced function across a broad range of activities related in large part to the transcriptional activation effects of this cytokine. The investigators will evaluate the effects of IFN-γ in healthy human subjects in vivo on gene expression, biologic activity markers, and functional activity of myeloid cells in single dose studies and in steady state studies.
