title: [Determination of the antiproliferative activity of human recombinant interferon (reaferon) on diploid human cells].
abstract: Dependence of the antiproliferative activity of reaferon in cultures of human diploid cells on the drug dose and duration of its action on the cells was studied by counting viable cells in the Goriaev chamber. No relationship was detected. However, such dependence was clearly evident with using tumor cells. With counting of mitoses it was shown that in doses of 10(4) and 10(3) IU reaferon significantly inhibited the cell mitotic activity when the mitotic index in the control of the strain M-19 cells exceeded 25%. When the mitotic index was lower than 25% reaferon in all the doses had no inhibitory effect on the cells. On the contrary it was noted that there was even a certain tendency to stimulation of the mitotic activity. Therefore, the line of the human diploid fibroblast cells (strain M-19) may be used for assay of reaferon antiproliferative activity in case of high mitotic activity in its monolayer (the mitotic index higher than 25%). It was also demonstrated that the dose of reaferon should be not lower than 1000 IU per 1 ml of the medium.
