Abstract
Chick embryo cells became more sensitive to the action of interferon the longer they remained in culture. This phenomenon was found even before confluency had been reached. The relative insensitivity of newly seeded cells was not due to a loss of receptors. Cells synthesizing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) at a high rate were less sensitive to interferon action than cells synthesizing DNA at a low rate, but the inhibition of DNA synthesis had no effect on interferon action. An increase in the number of cells used for seeding resulted in an earlier appearance of increased sensitivity to interferon action. These results are discussed in relation to the induction process in animal cells.
