Induction of Viral Interference: Effects of Poly rIrC
نویسندگان
چکیده
The activity of the antiviral protein induced by various ratios of poly rI-rC and diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-dextran was studied. It was found that, when large doses of poly rI-rC were used, very little viral interference was observed. This effect was initially attributed to the cells being refractory for production of antiviral protein. Subsequent experiments offered alternative explanations suggesting that, at any given dosage of poly rI * rC, an excess of DEAE-dextran is necessary for the production of viral interference. It is suggested that DEAE-dextran acts by exposing a cell receptor site for poly rIFrC.

متن کاملThe Anti-inflammatory and Anti-viral Effects of an Ethnic Medicine: Glycyrrhizin
The extract of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) has been widely used for many centuries in the traditional Chinese medicine as native anti-allergic agent. Glycyrrhizin (GL), a triterpenoid-saponin, extracted from the roots of licorice is the most effective compound for inflammation and allergic diseases in human body. The biological and pharmacological studies revealed that GL possesses many ph...

Induction of interferon-beta (IFN-beta) in human (BG-9), simian (CV-1) and mouse (L-929) cell lines by Sendai virus and by poly(rI). poly(rC) has been studied for its possible dependence on protein kinase C (PKC) through the use of pharmacological inhibitors (K252a and H-7) of PKC. Exposure of BG-9, CV-1 or L-929 cells to K252a (greater than or equal to 0.025 microM), a staurosporine derivative...
متن کاملA Review on Biohydrogenation and Effects of Tannin on It
The process called biohydrogenation occurs mainly in ruminant animals and during it, unsaturated fatty acids, and particularly poly-unsaturated ones (linoleic and linolenic) coverts to a saturated form of stearic acid. For many years, the beneficial effects of biohydrogenation intermediate fatty acids like cis-9 trans-11 linoleic acid, the main natural isomer of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA),...
متن کاملActivation of Toll-Like Receptor 3 Impairs the Dengue Virus Serotype 2 Replication through Induction of IFN-β in Cultured Hepatoma Cells
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in innate immunity against invading pathogens. Although TLR signaling has been indicated to protect cells from infection of several viruses, the role of TLRs in Dengue virus (DENV) replication is still unclear. In the present study, we examined the replication of DENV serotype 2 (DENV2) by challenging hepatoma cells HepG2 with different TLR liga...
