The 2–5A system is an RNA degradation pathway that can be induced by the interferons
(IFNs). Treatment of cells with IFN activates genes encoding several double-stranded RNA …

The neuronal growth factors nerve growth-factor (NGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)
play important roles in the development of both the peripheral and central nervous systems …

Cultured rat sympathetic neurons die within 48 h after being deprived of nerve growth factor.
Addition of interferons (IFN‐α/β or IFN‐γ) prevented the cell death in a dose‐dependent …

Abstract Overlapping symptomatologies between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and
Chemical Sensitivity have been observed by different investigators. Therefore, it is of great …

Natural or recombinant murine interferon-γ causes a reversible arrest of proliferation of
PC12 cells. Treatment with other antimitotics (AraC, colchicine, mitomycin C, hydroxy-urea) …

Human cellular polypeptide factors, namely interferon‐α, interferon‐γ, transforming growth
factor (TGF)‐α, and TGF‐β, were analyzed for their effect on motility of human sperm cells …

In murine BALB/c 3T3 cell cultures, either beta interferon or platelet-derived growth factor
(PDGF) enhanced expression of the 2′, 5′-oligoadenylate synthetase mRNA and protein …

Abstract Background The 5′-triphosphorylated, 2′-5′-linked oligoadenylate
polyribonucleotides (2-5As) are central to the interferon-induced antiviral 2-5A system. The 2 …

Differentiation of skeletal muscle involves withdrawal of myoblasts from cell replication,
fusion to form multinucleated myotubes, coordinate appearance of a variety of muscle …

Hyperthermia (45 degrees C) induced the synthesis of a characteristic heat-shock protein of
70,000 daltons (70 hsp) in Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells. In addition …
