3-Chloroacetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide phosphate, an alkylating analogue of NADP+.

An alkylating analogue of NADP+ the 3-chloroacetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide phosphate was prepared from 3-diazoacetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide phosphate which was obtained by enzymatic transglucosidation of NADP+. The 3-diazoacetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide phosphate proved to be more unstable when compared to the corresponding NAD+ analogue. The alkylation of several dehydrogenases using this alkylating analogue is mentioned.

Production and in vivo biologic actions of recombinant mouse interferon alpha 2.

We have expressed a recombinant mouse interferon alpha (r.Mu-IFN alpha 2) in Escherichia coli under the control of a tryptophan promoter using a synthetic adaptor formed by annealing two partially complementary oligonucleotides which introduced an ATG start codon and re-established the complete coding sequence of the mature IFN alpha 2 protein in the expression vector. Levels of up to 10(7) reference units of Mu-IFN alpha 2 per liter of culture were obtained using this construction. This recombinant mouse interferon alpha 2 exhibited antiviral activity in mice infected with EMC virus and antitumor activity in mice inoculated with Friend leukemia cells in a manner similar to that of natural mouse interferon alpha/beta.
