SummaryWe evaluated the usefulness of serum 2′–5′oligoadenylate synthetase (2–5AS) activity assay in monitoring the anti-viral activity of chronic type B hepatitis patients during IFN therapy. The serum 2–5AS activity was rapidly increased during the above therapy and was maintained at a medium-to-high level throughout the therapy period, although the capacity for increase reflected differences among individuals. The kinetics of serum 2–5AS activity during the therapy was almost consistent with that of the PBMCs 2–5AS activity. 2–5AS activity had an inverse correlation with DNA-P; i.e. DNA-P often disappeared from serum after interferon treatment in patients with a marked response in serum 2–5AS activity. The enhancement of serum 2–5AS activity during IFN therapy seemed to correlate with an increase in anti-viral activity. The results suggest that the serum 2–5AS activity assay is a useful probe for monitoring the anti-viral activity of chronic type B hepatitis patients during interferon therapy.
