| Abstract: | Crude mouse interferon mRNA extracted from poly (I) . poly (C)-induced L929 cells has been translated in a cell-free system from rabbit reticulocytes and in two-cell systems--L929 cells and chick embryo fibroblasts. Translational efficiency of interferon mRNA preparation was 100-fold higher in the cell-free system than in tissue culture cells. Interferon synthesized was species-specific and its antiviral activity was completely neutralized by mouse interferon antiserum. |
