Enhancement by Poly-d-Lysine of Poly I: C-Induced Interferon Production in Mice

J M Rice 1,2, W Turner 1,2, M A Chirigos 1,2, N R Rice 1,2
PMCID: PMC376805  PMID: 4316274

Abstract

Poly-d-lysine of high molecular weight enhances interferon induction in mice by the double-stranded complex of polyinosinic and polycytidylic acids and is superior to diethylaminoethyl-dextran in this respect.
