Interferon action in human fibroblasts: induction of 2', 5'-oligoadenylate synthetase in the absence of detectable protein kinase activity
Abstract
In several strains of human fibroblasts, treatment with human alpha- or beta-interferon (IFN) resulted in an induction of 2', 5'-oligoadenylate synthetase but no protein kinase activity. The antiviral and anticellular effects of IFN are elicited in these cells in the absence of detectable IFN-induced protein kinase activity.
