Abstract
Administration to mice of either interferon (IFN) or IFN inducers resulted in a marked increase of xanthine oxidase (XO) activity in different organs. Dose response studies revealed that serum XO was increased by administration of polyinosylic-polycyticylic acid (poly I-C) at doses as low as 0.1 mg/kg. In view of the well known ability of XO to generate superoxide radicals it is suggested that its induction might play a role in several biological effects of IFN.Entities:
