title: Synergistic cytotoxicity for L929 cells of polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid and amphotericin B methyl ester.
abstract: A synergistic impairment in cell growth of L929 mouse fibroblasts resulted from treatment with a combination of amphotericin B methyl ester and polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid. This effect, which may result from the altered membrane permeability induced by polyenes, may augment the therapeutic efficacy of polyribonucleotides as antitumor compounds.
