[Stimulation of interferon production]

Abstract

Data on the effect of some factors on interferon production in vitro are presented The kinetics of interferon synthesis in response to superinduction was similar to the respective curve of the effect of UV-radiation on the cell. Possible similarity in the effect of these factors on the mechanisms controlling interferon production is noted. An increase in interferon synthesis under the effect of ascorbic acid in cells of chick embryo fibroblast and L-929 was found. Combined use of the inductors provided an increase in the tests of interferon.
