Abstract

Recombinant human leukocyte interferon synthesized by Escherichia coli possesses antiproliferative activity in addition to antiviral activity. When the ability to inhibit multiplication of lymphoblastoid Daudi cells was examined, the growth-inhibitory capacity of recombinant leukocyte interferon was equivalent to that exhibited by crude human leukocyte interferon or by the homogeneous gamma 2 species of leukocyte interferon synthesized by human cells.
