Therapeutic Effect of Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor-a Antibody on the Murine Model of Viral Myocarditis Induced by Encephalomyocarditis Virus
Background Tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) has been reported to have an antiviral effect in vitro; however, its in vivo effect remains to be clarified. Methods and Results To investigate the role of TNF-a in viral myocarditis using a murine model induced by encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), we evaluated (1) plasma TNF-a levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), (2) the effect of rec...
متن کاملEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for immunoglobulin G antibody to encephalomyocarditis virus.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for immunoglobulin G antibody to encephalomyocarditis virus was developed. This assay was comparable to antibody assay by neutralization. Its adaptability should be useful for laboratory and epidemiological studies of infections due to encephalomyocarditis virus.
متن کاملA RT-PCR assay for the detection of encephalomycarditis virus infections in pigs
Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) infections can cause losses in pig farms all over the world. Rapid, sensitive and unequivocal detection of this virus is therefore essential for the diagnosis and control of the disease. An RT-PCR assay was developed, optimized and evaluated for encephalomyocarditis virus detection in organ based on a pair of primers that amplifies a 165 bp DNA fragment from a ...
متن کاملSpectrum of virus inhibition by consensus interferon YM643.
The spectrum of viruses inhibited by a genetically engineered consensus interferon (IFN) YM643 (interferon alfacon-1) was evaluated using a cytopathic effect inhibition assay or plaque inhibition assay for five DNA viruses and 12 RNA viruses. This activity was compared to that of natural IFN-alpha derived from Namalwa lymphoblastoid cell line [IFN-alpha (Namalwa)]. The viruses inhibited by both...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin treatment ameliorates murine myocarditis associated with reduction of neurohumoral activity and improvement of extracellular matrix change.
OBJECTIVES We examined effects of immunoglobulin on murine myocarditis induced by encephalomyocarditis virus, not pathogenic to humans, and analyzed the plasma cytokine and catecholamine levels and the changes of the extracellular matrix with or without the treatment. BACKGROUND We have previously shown that immunoglobulin therapy suppressed murine coxsackievirus B3 myocarditis by an antivira...
