Interferon pretreatment primes interferon production by human adenovirus in chick embryo cells.
Pretreatment of chick embryo cells (CEC) with homologous interferon enhanced the subsequent interferon production induced by human adenovirus. This priming effect of interferon pretreatment was also demonstrable when trypsin-treated virus was used for the induction of interferon.
