INFLUENCE OF ACTINOMYCIN D ON THE RNA METABOLISM OF ANTIBODY-FORMING SPLEEN CELLS IN VITRO

Abstract

The inhibition of antibody synthesis in vitro by actinomycin D is accompanied by a definite reduction in the RNA synthesis. Both the nuclear RNA and the cytoplasmatic RNA are affected by this inhibition of synthesis. It is concluded that in spleen cells from immunized animals the synthesis of antibodies is preceded by the formation of a DNA-dependent RNA.
