Effects of ionenes on interferon induction by poly(inosinic acid) . poly(cytidylic acid).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Depending on the spacing of their positive charges, ionenes, a class of quaternary ammonium polymers, increased the interferon-inducing activity of poly(inosinic acid).poly(cytidylic acid) in mouse L-929 cells, whereas they did not enhance poly(inosinic acid).poly(cytidylic acid) induced interferon production in primary rabbit kidney and human skin fibrolast cells.

Structural features of double-stranded polyribonucleotides required for immunological specificity and interferon induction.
Purified antibody to poly(adenylic acid)-poly(uridylic acid) was used in quantitative microcomplement fixation assays to detect conformational variations among several double-helical polyribonucleotide analogs of poly(adenylic acid)-poly(uridylic acid) or poly(inosinic acid)-poly(cytidylic acid) that had been previously evaluated for their ability to induce interferon. Modification at the furan...
متن کاملThe stimulation of CD8+ T cells by dendritic cells pulsed with polyketal microparticles containing ion-paired protein antigen and poly(inosinic acid)-poly(cytidylic acid).
New adjuvants and delivery strategies are needed to optimize the ability of protein-based vaccines to elicit CD8(+) T cell responses. We have developed a model vaccine formulation containing ovalbumin (OVA) and the double-stranded RNA analog poly(inosinic acid)-poly(cytidylic acid) (poly(I:C)), a TLR3 agonist. OVA and poly(I:C) were each ion-paired to cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to pr...
متن کاملPartial purification of human interferon by affinity chromatography.
Human interferon prepared by challenge of leukocytes with Sendai virus, or of fibroblasts with double-stranded poly(inosinic acid).poly(cytidylic acid), has been studied with respect to purification by affinity chromatography. Both leukocyte and fibroblast interferons are removed from crude tissue culture fluids by means of columns of antibody to leukocyte interferon attached to Sepharose-4B. T...
متن کاملThe interferon inducer ampligen [poly(I)-poly(C12U)] markedly protects mice against coxsackie B3 virus-induced myocarditis.
Viral replication, as well as an immunopathological component, is assumed to be involved in coxsackie B virus-induced myocarditis. We evaluated the efficacy of the interferon inducer Ampligen on coxsackie B3 virus-induced myocarditis in C3H/HeNHsd mice. The efficacy of Ampligen was compared with that of the interferon inducer poly(inosinic acid)-poly(cytidylic acid) [poly(IC)], alpha interferon...
متن کاملEffects of polyribonucleotides of known composition on deoxycytidylate and deoxyguanylate kinase activity in Pneumococci.
Polycytidylic acid (poly C) stimulates the activity of deoxycytidylate and deoxyguanylate kinases in cell suspensions of type III pneumococci. Polyadenylic acid (poly A) stimulates the activity of dGMP kinase only. Polyuridylic acid (poly U) or polyinosinic acid (poly I) is inactive in this respect. A selective stimulation of DNA synthesis occurs in comparison to RNA and protein syntheses when ...
