Popis: N6-(δ2-isopentenyl) adenosine (iPA) has been previously shown to inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis in cultured lymphocytes and to suppress antibody formation in vivo. The effects have been extended to show that iPA has little preferential action on phytohemagglutinin-transformed spleen cells in vitro. Finally, iPA is found to alter the methylation of all species of RNA but in a disproportionate manner in either PHA-transformed or non-stimulated lymphocytes.
