Ribonuclease activity of preparations of human lymphoblastoid interferon. 1979

T P Karpetsky, and R A Winchurch, and C J Burman, and K H Fantes

Crude human lymphoblastoid interferon has less ribonuclease activity than equivalent primary leukocyte interferon and ribonuclease was eliminated when it was purified. The methods used differed from those that had failed to eliminate similar activity from leukocyte interferon. This result makes it unlikely that exogenous ribonuclease plays a major role in the antiviral action of interferon preparations.

D007372 Interferons Proteins secreted by vertebrate cells in response to a wide variety of inducers. They confer resistance against many different viruses, inhibit proliferation of normal and malignant cells, impede multiplication of intracellular parasites, enhance macrophage and granulocyte phagocytosis, augment natural killer cell activity, and show several other immunomodulatory functions. Interferon
D007962 Leukocytes White blood cells. These include granular leukocytes (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS) as well as non-granular leukocytes (LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES).

D002051 Burkitt Lymphoma A form of undifferentiated malignant LYMPHOMA usually found in central Africa, but also reported in other parts of the world. It is commonly manifested as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass. B-cell antigens are expressed on the immature cells that make up the tumor in virtually all cases of Burkitt lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN) has been isolated from Burkitt lymphoma cases in Africa and it is implicated as the causative agent in these cases; however, most non-African cases are EBV-negative.
