Antiviral activities of hybrids of two major human leukocyte interferons.
Four hybrid human leukocyte interferon (LeIF or IFN-alpha) genes have been constructed by in vitro recombination of LeIF-A (IFN-alpha 2) and LeIF-D (IFN-alpha 1) genes at common restriction endonuclease sites located within their coding regions. These hybrid genes have been expressed in E. coli under trp promoter control. The interferons produced [LeIF-AD (BglII), -AD (PvuII), -DA (BglII), -DA ...
متن کاملAntiviral defense: interferons and beyond
Mice lacking the adaptor protein that initiates an antiviral response downstream of the RNA helicases retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) have recently been described. These studies highlight the essential and nonredundant role of nucleic acid recognition in the induction of type I interferon production and raise important questions regar...
متن کاملSynergistic antiviral and antiproliferative activities of Escherichia coli-derived human alpha, beta, and gamma interferons.
The antiviral and antiproliferative effects of highly purified Escherichia coli-derived human interferons (IFNs) were examined in human melanoma cells (Hs294T). Antiproliferative activity was monitored by measuring inhibition of cell multiplication, and antiviral activity was determined by inhibition of herpes simplex virus type 1 replication. Treatment of cells with IFN-gamma in combination wi...
متن کاملAvian Interferons and Their Antiviral Effectors
Interferon (IFN) responses, mediated by a myriad of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), are the most profound innate immune responses against viruses. Cumulatively, these IFN effectors establish a multilayered antiviral state to safeguard the host against invading viral pathogens. Considerable genetic and functional characterizations of mammalian IFNs and their effectors have been made, and our unders...
متن کاملAntiviral activities of lactoferrin.
Lactoferrin (LF) is an iron binding glycoprotein that is present in several mucosal secretions. Many biological functions have been ascribed to LF. One of the functions of LF is the transport of metals, but LF is also an important component of the non-specific immune system, since LF has antimicrobial properties against bacteria, fungi and several viruses. This review gives an overview of the p...
