To investigate whether a range of beta-lactam antibiotics conjugate to and hence reduce the activity of IFN-gamma, as has been shown for penicillin G. A selection of penicillins, cephalosporins, a monobactam (aztreonam), a beta-lactamase inhibitor (clavulanic acid), a carbapenem (meropenem) and the non-beta-lactam penicillin derivative d-penicillamine were tested for their effect on IFN-gamma activity.
