title: [Induction of interferon-specific enzymes in cultures of cells sensitive and resistant to interferon].
abstract: Induction of 2'-5'-oligoadenylatesynthetase (2-5A synthetase) by interferons and theophylline by means of activation of cAMP-system in interferon susceptible and resistant cell lines were studied. In interferon resistant cell lines the basal activity of 2-5A synthetase exceeded the level of the same enzyme in interferon susceptible cell lines. Activity of 2-5A synthetase is increased in interferon susceptible cell lines by interferon treatment, but the activity of the enzyme is not altered in interferon resistant cell lines. Among the studied cell lines the induction of 2-5A synthetase by theophylline was possible only in L929 cell line. The common mechanism for the absence of 2-5A synthetase induction by interferon and theophylline in interferon resistant cells is discussed.
