Effect of nucleosides both on induction of antiviral state in chick embryo cells (CEC) or rabbit kidney cells (RK13) and on interferon production in RK13 or mouse fibroblast cells (L cells) by polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid (poly I.poly C) was studied. Addition of inosine or a fifty-fifty mixture of inosine and uridine at a final concentration of 0.1 mM to 10 mM to a growth medium enhanced development of antiviral state in CEC. The nucleoside effect was also observed in RK13 at 0.1 mM but not at a concentration higher than 1 mM. Interferon production in RK13 by superinduction (sequential treatment with metabolic inhibitors after exposure to poly I.poly C) was enhanced 1.5- to 4.0-fold by addition of the nucleoside mixture to the growth medium. When RK13 was pretreated with 10 units per ml of interferon and then superinduced by inhibitors, the enhancing effect of nucleosides on interferon production was not observed. Interferon production in L cells was potentiated a little by addition of 1 mM of the nucleoside mixture to the growth medium. The effect of nucleoside was not observed when the nucleosides were added after exposure to poly I.poly C. The nucleoside effect may be applicable for production of high titered interferon.
