Number Of Cells

A study of the effect of interferon on the growth of Sindbis virus in cultures of chick-embryo cells has shown that interferon forms an association with cells (uptake) and that the action of interferon is concentration rather than amount dependent. Evidence has also been obtained that interferon acts to reduce the yield of virus from cells, but does not reduce the number of cells synthesizing virus (all or none effect).

An interferon antagonist was obtained free of both cells and virus from a hamster cell line (BHK-21) infected with Sindbis virus. This material was also found to enhance Sindbis virus growth. A method for the assay of the interferon antagonist is described which is based on its capacity to reduce the activity of interferon as measured by a lack of reduction in Sindbis virus plaque numbers. The antagonist was found to be resistant to ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease but sensitive to trypsin. Evidence for the existence of a similar substance in Sindbis virus infected chick embryo cell cultures was also obtained.
