Abstract

Summary

Crude interferon preparations from primary guinea-pig embryo cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus strain T1026R1 were shown to be more sensitive to heat (37 °C), pH 2.0, and SDS than crude mouse interferon. Since the proportion of antiviral activity lost after each treatment was nearly the same, the existence of a single fraction of antiviral activity sensitive to all three treatments was suggested. Support for this possibility was given by the finding that subjecting this guinea-pig interferon to any one of the treatments rendered it insensitive to the effects of the other two.
