Summary
The ability of human fibroblast interferon to suppress colony formation and papovavirus T-antigen expression in six human tumor cell lines did not appear to correlate with their content of chromosomes 16 and 21. Additional factors or chromosomes may be involved in the manifestation of interferon action in aneuploid cells.
