Lymphosarcoma P1798 cells was treated with 9FP (Fluprednisolone). Ribonuclease activity of the cells was measured after incubation with 0.1 mkg/ml 9FP (Fluprednisolone) for various time periods (from 6 to 48 h). Cells also develop increased acid ribonuclease activity after incubation with 9FP (Fluprednisolone) in vitro.
