Synergistic inhibition of pseudorabies virus replication by porcine alpha/beta interferon and gamma interferon in vitro.
Interferon (IFN) is crucial for initiating the innate immune response and for the generation of the adaptive response. IFN, in most species, comprises IFN-alpha (IFN-alpha), IFN-beta (IFN-beta) and IFN-gamma (IFN-gamma). In this study, we compared the capacity of porcine IFN-alpha, -beta and -gamma, or a combination of them, to protect IBRS-2 cells (porcine kidney cells) from infection with pse...
متن کاملLate phase inhibition of murine cytomegalovirus replication by synergistic action of interferon-gamma and tumour necrosis factor.
We have shown previously that the antiviral function of CD4+ T lymphocytes against murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) is associated with the release of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). We now demonstrate that IFN-gamma and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) display synergism in their antiviral activity. As little as 2 ng/ml of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha reduced the virus yield by about three orders ...
متن کاملSynergistic inhibition of enterovirus 71 replication by interferon and rupintrivir.
BACKGROUND Enterovirus 71 (EV71) can cause severe diseases and even lead to death in children. There is no vaccine or specific antiviral therapy to prevent or cure EV71 infection. Although interferon (IFN)-α has been used in the treatment of several viral infections, we found that IFN-α alone was ineffective in restricting EV71 replication in Vero cells. METHODS Through a bioinformatics analy...
متن کاملInducible Expression of Human Gamma Interferon
Background:The premature termination of high producer clones, which will be killed due to cell proliferation and proteins production antagonism, is one of the basic drawback in recombinant proteins technology. Furtheremore, it is supposed some toxic proteins like interferon which we intended to clone and express, inhibit host cells’ proliferation. So, it is necessary to tightly control IFN-γ pr...
متن کاملSynergistic antiviral activity of acyclovir and interferon on human cytomegalovirus.
The efficacy of human alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) combined with 9-(2'-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine (acyclovir; ACV), (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine, 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine, or 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine on the inhibition of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication in human embryonic lung cells was analyzed by plaque reduction assays. IFN-alpha combined with 9-beta-D-arabi...
