Role of interferon in viral interference

Autor(es): Friedman R M


Resumo: ACTINOMYCIN D inhibits the production of interferon1. Since the exact role of interferon in the phenomenon of viral interference has not been fully established, the effect of actinomycin D on viral interference was tested. The present results show that when actinomycin D inhibited interferon production by a heat-inactivated arbovirus, it also reversed viral interference by the virus.
