Abstract

3'-deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate is oligomerized to form (2'-5')-oligo (3'-deoxyadenylate) by incubation with adenosine triphosphate: (2'-5')-oligo adenosine adenyl transferase, in the presence of an inert support carrying a double stranded polynucleotide. The (2'-5')-oligo (3'-deoxyadenylate) is digested with a suitable phosphatase to remove the terminal phosphate groups. The thus produced corresponding 3'-deoxyadenosine compound is an anti-viral material effective against Herpes simplex infection and effective in inhibiting the transformation of cells infected with Epstein Barr virus.
