The antiviral properties of histones of animal (thymus) and plant (French beans) origin were studied in plants and with a plant virus, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Histones of the thymus and French beans were shown to be able to inhibit TMV reproduction. The antiviral properties of histones were found to depend on their concentration, pH, and to be determined by the modes of their introduction into leaves. The manifestation of the antiviral properties of histones seems to require not only their direct contact with virus but also a certain exposure on the leaf. The similarities of antiviral protective mechanisms of plants and animals determined by substances of the protein nature are discussed.
研究了来自动物（胸腺）和植物（菜豆）的组蛋白在植物中对植物病毒——烟草花叶病毒（TMV）的抗病毒特性。结果表明，胸腺组蛋白和菜豆组蛋白能够抑制TMV的繁殖。发现组蛋白的抗病毒特性取决于其浓度、pH值，并由其引入叶片的方式决定。组蛋白抗病毒特性的表现似乎不仅需要它们与病毒直接接触，还需要在叶片上有一定的暴露时间。文中讨论了由蛋白质性质的物质所决定的动植物抗病毒保护机制的相似性。
