Essay

The susceptibility of the cells under study to interferons has been analysed in vitro by the 2'5' oligoadenylate synthetase assay. The modulation of interferon effects by retinoids in cancer cells has been shown to be partially mediated by 2'5'-oligoadenylate system. Analysis of synthetase reaction products in cell-free system suggested that natural tRNA could serve as the activators of. 2'5' oligoadenylate synthetase
