Two interferon mRNAs in human fibroblasts: in vitro translation and Escherichia coli cloning studies.
Open accessAbstract
Two mRNA species that produce biologically active interferon were isolated from human fibroblasts and studied by size fractionation and cloning in Escherichia coli plasmid pBR322. The major fibroblast interferon (Hu IFN-beta 1) is coded for by the smaller of the two mRNAs, an 11S species, 900 nucleotides long, which in cell-free systems yields a 20,000 Mr protein. The second interferon mRNA species (Hu IFN-beta 2) is 14S, about 1300 nucleotides long, and codes for another protein of 23,000-26,000 Mr. The two interferon mRNAs do not cross-hybridize. Both are induced by poly(rI.rC), but IFN-beta 2 mRNA is induced to about 10% in cells by cycloheximide treatment alone whereas under these conditions IFN-beta 1 is not induced.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
