[Relationship of the characteristics of the chromosome set in human cell cultures to the production and antiviral action of interferon].
The role of chromosomes 2, 5, 16, and 21 in production and effect of human interferon was checked in human diploid cells, human heteroploid cells J-96 and clone J-41 thereof. The J-41 cells were found to have a lower number of chromosomes 2 as compared to the other cells under study; J-41 cells produce less interferon than the other cells. Most J-41 cells lack chromosome 21. Unlike the other two cell cultures, these cells do not produce antivirus state after treatment with interferon. The number of chromosomes 16 is larger in J-96 cells than in diploid ones, and they are less sensitive to interferon than diploid cells. The experimental results confirm the importance of chromosome 2 for coding for interferon production, other chromosomes taking part in the regulation of this process. The gene of sensitivity to interferon is localized in chromosome 21, the regulator gene coding the production of repressor of sensitivity to interferon is in chromosome 16.
