title: Effect of recombinant human interferon gamma against human cytomegalovirus.
abstract: Escherichia coli-derived human interferon-gamma (rIFN-gamma) inhibited the replication of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) synergistically when combined with IFN-alpha. The induction of HCMV DNA polymerase was inhibited in rIFN-gamma-treated cells. It is suggested that the induction of 2-5 A synthetase does not play an important role in the anti-HCMV actions of IFNs.
