Evidence for early fluidity changes in the plasma membranes of interferon treated L cells, from fluorescence
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
|January 14, 1983
Abstract:
A significant increase of the plasma membrane fluidity is observed in L cells upon treatment with mouse beta interferon, by the means of fluorescence anisotropy measurements of DPH. The effect is dose dependent and, at the difference with previously reported membrane effects of interferon, is an early one (maximum for a 30 min. treatment), and may be directly related to the initiation of antiviral activity.
