Reversible inhibition of interferon-induced antiviral state by deoxyadenosine.
Deoxyadenosine reversibly inhibited the development of antiviral state (AVS) in chick embryo fibroblasts stimulated by interferon. Studies on cellular macromolecular syntheses in deoxyadenosine-treated cells suggested that the inhibition was related to nucleolar RNA synthesis. Reference experiments with actinomycin D and cordycepin (3'deoxyadenosine) also implied causal- or interrelation between AVS development and nucleolar RNA synthesis.
