Popis: | A study was initiated to develop a more efficient method of producing high-titered L cell interferon. The induction of interferon by viral infectious RNA could be augmented by pretreating the cell cultures with insulin and infecting in the presence of Amphotericin B methyl ester (AmBME). L cells were treated for 24 hr with different concentrations of insulin and then challenged with MM virus RNA suspended in a balanced salt solution with and without AmBME. The fluids were collected 48 hr after infection and assayed for interferon activity. Interferon production was markedly increased in insulin-treated cultures and that the increase was dose-dependent. |
