The DNA of mammalian cells treated with 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen (Trioxsalen) is crosslinked (preventing transcription) only after photoactivation with near ultraviolet light. Suppression of gene action in cocultivated or fused cultures, including both induction and antiviral action of fibroblast interferon, can consequently be limited to pretreated cells, an advantage over actinomycin treatment.
用4,5',8-三甲基补骨脂素(三甲沙林)处理的哺乳动物细胞的DNA仅在近紫外光光激活后才会发生交联(阻止转录)。因此,在共培养或融合培养物中基因作用的抑制,包括成纤维细胞干扰素的诱导作用和抗病毒作用,可能仅限于预处理的细胞,这是优于放线菌素处理的一个优点。
