Abstract Background Recent studies have shown that gamma interferon IFN-y synergizes with the innate IFNs IFN-a and IFN-P to inhibit herpes simplex virus type 1 HSV-1 replication in vitro. To determine whether this phenomenon is shared by other herpesviruses we investigated the effects of IFNs on human cytomegalovirus HCMV replication. Results We have found that as with HSV-1 IFN-y synergizes with the innate IFNs IFN-a p to potently inhibit HCMV replication in vitro. While pre-treatment of human foreskin fibroblasts HFFs with IFN-a IFN-P or IFN-y alone inhibited HCMV plaque formation by 30 to 40-fold treatment with IFN-a and IFN-y or IFN-P and IFN-y inhibited HCMV plaque formation by 163- and 662-fold respectively. The generation of isobole plots verified that the observed inhibition of HCMV plaque formation and replication in HFFs by IFN-a p and IFN-y was a .
