ABSTRACT
The effect of azathioprine on macromolecular biosynthesis was studied in mouse spleen cells cultured in vitro. The rate of incorporation of 3H-thymidine, 3H-uridine, and 14C-leucine into acid-insoluble material was used to measure deoxyribonucleic acid, ribonucleic acid, and protein synthesis. Results indicate that azathioprine inhibited nucleic acid and protein synthesis at levels which did not decrease cell viability.
