title: [Interferonogenic activity of immobilized ribopolynucleotides in vitro].
abstract: In vitro experiments the authors have studied a property of yeast RNA--tilorone hydrochloride complex covalently linked to spheron to induce the synthesis of interferons type I (alpha- and beta-interferons) in the culture of peripheral mononuclear human cells. Such a complex is shown to possess a marked interferonogenic activity. The data obtained appear to be a proof of the interferon induction to be realised by a mechanism needing at the first stage the contact between the inducer and the cell surface without its penetration into the cell.
