Abstract
Orchansky et al. (P. Orchansky, M. Rubenstein, and I. Sela), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79, 2278-2280, 1982) reported that natural and recombinant human interferon (HuIFN), e.g., HuIFN-beta and -alpha subspecies gamma3, protects plant cells from infection with a plant virus (tobacco mosaic virus). For their study they used tobacco leaf discs as well as tobacco protoplasts. It is now reported that recombinant HuIFN-beta and HuIFN-alpha2 do not significantly decrease alfalfa mosaic virus increase in cowpea mesophyll protoplasts.Entities:
