Cells were incubated in growth medium with IFN-α (100 U/mL) for 24 hours, washed, and infected with the Edmonston strain measles virus (1 TCID50/cell).

F3-150

ATA (125 μmol/L) was added to the medium with IFN-α at the times indicated.

F3-151

Log10 virus titers (TCID50) of supernatant released virus at 48 hours after infection of the DWS cells. Yield of infectious virus was determined by microtitration on VERO cells for 6 days. In control DWS cells treated with ATA compared with or without IFN-α at 0 hours of infection, the ATA caused a reduction of 75% to 90% of the IFN-α antiviral activity. For experimental normalization, the 0 hours results define a 100% basis for all data shown in this table. The true effect of ATA added at 0 hours was a 75% reduction in antiviral activity (data not shown).

F3-152

Data represent the ratio (×100) of viral plaques enumerated on monolayers of indicator cells (VERO) per number of infected Daudi cells inoculated.
