This treatment does not seem to act on the binding of interferon to the cells but blocks a further step of activation on the cell membrane. The anti-interferon effect of ammonium salts is reversible with a complete recovery of the antiviral state. It is postulated that these salts may stabilize the interferon-receptor complex and thus prevent the changes in configuration necessary for the establishment and maintenance of its biological functions., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-41-3-541
