In Vitro Effect of Methisoprinol on Salmonid Rhabdoviruses Replication
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in vitro influence of methisoprinol on the replication of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) and infectious haematopoetic necrosis (IHN) viruses by measuring their RNA synthesis was examined. EPC cell cultures containing various concentrations of methisoprinol (0, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 μg/ml of medium) were inoculated with VHS or IHN virus suspension containing 10 TCID50/ml. The inhibition of [H]-uridine incorporation into VHSV and IHNV RNA propagated in cell cultures with methisoprinol was demonstrated. The highest percentage of viral RNA inhibition was observed when a dose of 500 μg/ml was used. The results indicated that methisoprinol inhibits the replication of salmonid rhabdoviruses and possibly may be effective in prevention of viral infection in aquaculture.

Effects of Sodium Valproate on the Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1: An in Vitro Study
Background: Sodium valproate, an anticonvulsant drug, is reported to stimulate Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 and Human cytomegalovirus replication. Since epileptic patients undergoing sodium valproate therapy may suffer from various virus infections, the effect of this drug on replication of viruses especially those affecting neuronal tissues such as Herpes simplex virus type 1 is worthy ...

متن کاملAlpha interferon and not gamma interferon inhibits salmonid alphavirus subtype 3 replication in vitro.
Salmonid alphavirus (SAV) is an emerging virus in salmonid aquaculture, with SAV-3 being the only subtype found in Norway. Until now, there has been little focus on the alpha interferon (IFN-alpha)-induced antiviral responses during virus infection in vivo or in vitro in fish. The possible involvement of IFN-gamma in the response to SAV-3 is also not known. In this study, the two IFNs were clon...
متن کاملFish rhabdoviruses: comparative study of protein structure.
Proteins from four fish rhabdoviruses have been studied by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The viruses were: trout viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS), infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHN), spring viremia virus of carp (SVC), and the pike fry rhabdovirus (PFR). For the two salmonid viruses (VHS-IHN), gel electrophoresis indicated the proteins, with molecular w...
