Mouse interferon (alpha + beta) given to mice by intraperitoneal injection suppressed both the accumulation of putrescine and stimulation of DNA synthesis in liver caused by partial hepatectomy. The suppression of DNA synthesis was completely reversed by exogenous putrescine. The same results were obtained when core 2',5'-oligoadenylate instead of interferon was given to partially hepatectomized mice. These results suggest that interferon inhibits putrescine formation through elevating the 2',5'-oligoadenylate level and thus inhibits DNA synthesis in the regenerating liver.
