Abstract
Interferon treatment appears to induce a number of changes in the plasma membrane of uninfected cells. Interferon treatment altered the surface exposure of gangliosides of both Ly and KB cell membranes. The differences were found in the amount and pattern of incorporation of tritium after galactose oxidase treatment. In AKR,Cā(AKR-2B) mouse cells, not only was there an apparent increase in the number of intramembranous particles in reponse to treatment with interferon but also the kinetics of the increase followed that of the establishment of the antiviral activity. The buoyant density of plasma membrane was also found to be significantly increased in interferon-treated cells. Moloney murine leukemia virus produced in interferon-treated mouse thymus and bone marrow cells had a high particle to infectivity ration. This virus contained a prominent glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 85,000. This large glycoprotein was only a very minor component of Moloney leukemia virus produced in control TB cells and might be an uncleaved precursor to gp 69ā71.
