[Attempt at activating mouse intracisternal type A particles by iododeoxyuridine and dexamethasone].

Abstract

In this study we have compared the effects of Iododeoxyridine (IUdR) and dexamethasone on different Mouse cell lines to determine any differences in their actions on intracisternal A-type particles (IAP). Among the nine cell lines studied only four responded to IUdR stimulation by a subsequent augmentation of IAP. No similar activating effect was detected with dexamethasome treatment.
