“Most important, the combined treatment of IFN and ZnCl2 reversed the IFN-mediated antiproliferative and antiviral activities, as determined by the kinetics of cell growth, thymidine incorporation, cloning efficiency, and infection with mengovirus.”
“The results show that in the … clone 11, the combined treatment of IFN … ZnCl2 reduced significantly the level of the IFN-induced 2-5A synthetase activity, the amount of the 40-, 43-, … 71-kDa 2-5A synthetase isoforms and the level of the 1.7-kb specific RNA transcript.”
