Induction of viral interference: effects of poly rI-rC and diethylaminoethyl-dextran on the activity of the antiviral protein.
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 rI.rC.

متن کاملEffect of protein kinase C inhibitors on interferon-beta production by viral and non-viral inducers.
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 کاملThe role of interferon in the protective effect of a synthetic double-stranded polyribonucleotide against intranasal vesicular stomatitis virus challenge in mice.
Intravenous injection of polyinosinic acid/polycytidylic acid [(poly rI).(poly rC)] offered significant protection against intranasal challenge of young mice with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Optimal protection was obtained when a single dose was administered 2 hr before virus challenge, but repeated doses were effective when started as late as 3 days after virus challenge. The therapeutic...
متن کاملRelationship between interferon production and interferon messenger RNA synthesis in human fibroblasts.
Poly(A) containing mRNA prepared from poly(rI)-poly(rC)-induced human fibroblasts stimulated [14C]leucine incorporation into protein in wheat germ cell-free extracts. For the translation of interferon mRNA into a biologically active product, the presence of spermine was essential. The protein synthesized in vitro fulfilled the criteria for human interferon--namely, its antiviral activity was sp...
متن کاملThe Effect of SB431542, TGF-β Receptor Inhibitor, on HCV Replication in PBMCs of Patients with Chronic Hepatitis
Background and Aims: TGF-β is an effective cytokine in the viral replication cycle, which is also highly relevant to the pathogenesis of some viral infections. TGF-β induction by viral proteins is one of the ways to escape the virus from the immune system by inhibiting interferon signaling and other immune system factors. In recent years, the role of TGF-β and its inhibitor...
