A number of nonspecific resistance characteristics in mice, such as the total number of peritoneal exudate cells, the percentage and absolute number of macrophages, their cytochemical activity in the spontaneous tetrazolium test and cytochemical capacity, have been studied by comparison with the resistance of the animals to tularemia infection induced by Francisella tularensis, Ga?ski?'s vaccinal strain 15. Of these characteristics, the cytochemical capacity of peritoneal exudate macrophages, i.e. the total cytochemical activity of macrophages contained in a unit of volume, has been the most informative as regards the level of nonspecific resistance to this infection. Other characteristics under study cannot serve as criteria for the evaluation of the nonspecific resistance of the body to F. tularensis. 相似文献

Whether or not NO plays a critical role in murine CMV (MCMV) infection has yet to be elucidated. In this study, we examined the role of NO in acute infection with MCMV using NO synthase type 2 (NOS2)-deficient mice. NOS2(-/-) mice were more susceptible to lethal infection with MCMV than NOS2(+/+) mice and generated a much higher peak virus titer in the salivary gland after acute infection. A moderate increase in the MCMV titer was also observed in other organs of NOS2(-/-) mice such as the spleen, lung, and liver. The immune responses to MCMV infection including NK cell cytotoxicity and CTL response in NOS2(-/-) mice were comparable with those of NOS2(+/+) mice. Moreover, the ability to produce IFN-gamma is not impaired in NOS2(-/-) mice after MCMV infection. The peritoneal macrophages from NOS2(-/-) mice, however, exhibited a lower antiviral activity than those from NOS2(+/+) mice, resulting in an enhanced viral replication in macrophages themselves. Treatment of these cells from NOS2(+/+) mice with a selective NOS2 inhibitor decreased the antiviral activity to a level below that obtained with NOS2(-/-) mice. In addition, the absence of NOS2 and NOS2-mediated antiviral activity of macrophages resulted in not only an enhanced MCMV replication and a high mortality but also a consequent risk of the latency. It was thus concluded that the NOS2-mediated antiviral activity of macrophages via NO plays a protective role against MCMV infection at an early and late stage of the infection. 相似文献

The antiviral activity of a bacterial ribonuclease conjugate with chitosane of Kamchatka crab (in a form of water soluble chito-oligosaccharides) has been studied. The conjugate inhibitory activity for A and B viruses as well as to Sindbis arbovirus in tissue cultures is shown. The preparation efficiency at intramuscular and intranasal administration was observed at experimental influenza infection of white mice. 相似文献

To investigate the role of nitric oxide during vaccinia virus (VV) infection of mice, a recombinant VV encoding the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene (VV-HA-iNOS) was constructed. Following infection of immunocompromised or immunocompetent mice, the virus was highly attenuated compared with a control recombinant VV. Athymic and sublethally irradiated mice survived infection with 10(7) PFU of VV-HA-iNOS, a dose that resulted in uniform mortality in mice infected with the control recombinant VV. Attenuated virus growth was evident as early as 24 h following infection, suggesting that NO had direct antiviral activity. We have previously shown that treatment of mice with the inhibitor of NO production N(G)-methyl-L-arginine did not influence the course of VV infection in mice. The present study has indicated that NO can potentially exert an antiviral effect during murine VV infection. We propose that during VV infection, nitric oxide production contributes to the control of virus growth, but that in its absence, other antiviral mechanisms are sufficient to mediate fully effective virus clearance. 相似文献

Antiviral activity of a two-spiral RNA (ts RNA), a new natural interferon inductor was studied. It was shown that ts RNA extracted from a phage infected E. coli culture was an active inductor of interferon and resistance to infection with the forestspring encephalitis virus experimental animals. In experiments on 10-12 g mice ts RNA administered in a dose of 50 micrograms/mouse 6 hours after the infection induced up to 1280 units/ml of the serum interferon. When the inductor was administered repeatedly, the experimental animals developed hyporeactivity resulting in a marked decrease in interferon production after the 3rd subsequent injection. The most pronounced effect with respect to the forest-spring encephalitis virus was observed when the inductor was administered intraperitoneally in a dose of 20 micrograms/mouse 4 hours before the infection. The protective effect was less pronounced when the inductor was administered 24 and 48 hours before the infection. A two-fold administration of the inductor did not increase the antiviral effect. When the inductor was administered in a dose of 100 micrograms 14 days before the infection, the animals showed an increase in the nonspecific resistance to the infection resulting in a marked antiviral effect. 相似文献

The antiviral and antitumor activity in vitro of normal, stimulated, vaccinia virus “immune”, and activated peritoneal macrophages were compared. Activated (pyran or corynebacteria induced) PEC exhibited both antitumor and antiviral activity. Stimulated (thioglyocollate) and vaccinia virus “immune” PEC inhibited virus growth but did not possess antitumor activity. Normal (unstimulated) PEC were relatively ineffective in either activity. The antiviral activity was nonspecific, being expressed against herpes simplex and EMC viruses in addition to vaccinia. Although a possible role for interferon was suggested by the lack of activity of mouse PEC on vaccinia virus growth in heterologous FLK cells, definitive proof was not obtained. The activity was most pronounced against multiple cycles of viral infection initiated at a low multiplicity of infection. Single cycle virus growth was not affected, suggesting that the major inhibition was on subsequent cycles of virus growth. 相似文献

The method of the radiometric determination of the antibacterial activity of peritoneal cells in the process of the development of viral infection has been approved. The genetically determined specific level of the antibacterial activity of these cells in different strains of mice has been established. The development of the lethal form of experimental influenza A in mice has been shown to be accompanied by the mobilization of nonspecific protective factors, including the system of interferons and the antibacterial activity of peritoneal cells. The latter factor is, seemingly, insufficient for ensuring the necessary level of protection in the animals, whose death occurs at a shorter time than that necessary for the development of specific immune response. 相似文献

The Ingavirin antiviral properties with respect to the parainfluenza virus, as an actual human respiratory tract pathogen, were investigated by two methods, i.e. immunoenzymatic analysis and microtetrazolium test. The results showed that along with the immediate antiviral activity Ingavirin had nonspecific cytoprotective properties. While affecting the virus proteins synthesis, Ingavirin lowered the virus cytopathogenic action. The drug significantly decreased the portion of the bronchial epithelium cells killed at the stage of acute infection. 相似文献

本文探讨了F1小鼠生态条件(鼠龄和免疫状态)对Friend小鼠白血病病毒(Fr.MuLV)感染的影响。利用对Fr.MuLV抗性的Fv4小鼠(含Fv4抗性基因纯合子的BALB/C小鼠)与对Fr.MuLV敏感的BALB/C小鼠交配,获得含Fv4抗性基因杂合子的F1小鼠(BALB/C×Fv4)。然后经小鼠腹腔接种Fr.MuLV病毒液进行攻击,并检查不同鼠龄和免疫状态下的F1小鼠对Fr.MuLV的敏感性,以阐明F1小鼠的鼠龄和免疫状态对Fr.MuLV感染的影响。结果表明,新生F1小鼠可发生Fr.MuLV感染,脾脏中有大量病毒增殖,并引起白血病;免疫抑制剂Fk506投与下的成年F1小鼠亦可发生Fr.MuLV的感染,脾脏中有病毒增殖,但不引起白血病;而新生或成年Fv4小鼠以及成年F1小鼠可抵抗Fr.MuLV的感染,脾脏中无病毒增殖,不发病。说明F1小鼠的鼠龄和免疫状态等生态条件可影响其对Fr.MuLV感染的敏感性,并且可影响Fv4基因抗病毒作用。 相似文献

Experiments on mice have revealed that the development of experimental purulent infection is accompanied by a considerable increase in the nonspecific resistance of the animals to additional infection with unrelated bacteria (the effect of tachyphylaxis). Morphologically, this is manifested by the rapid limitation of the focus of inflammation at the site of inoculation of the superinfecting agent. The state of the phagocytic apparatus is of great importance for this phenomenon as disturbances in the macrophage activity caused by the injection of carrageenan abolish the protective effect of primary infection. The phenomenon of tachyphylaxis has been shown to play a certain role in the prevention of the septic generalization of the process and in resistance to superinfection. 相似文献

The antiviral effects of nitric oxide (NO) on Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a member of the family Flaviviridae, were investigated in this study. In vitro, inhibition of replication of JEV in gamma interferon-activated RAW 264.7 murine macrophages was correlated to cellular NO production. When cocultured with infected murine neuroblastoma N18 cells, gamma interferon-activated RAW 264.7 cells also efficiently hindered JEV replication in contiguous bystanders, and this anti-JEV effect could be reversed by an NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor, N-monomethyl-L-arginine acetate. In vivo, the mortality rate increased as the NOS activity of JEV-infected mice was inhibited by its competitive inhibitor, N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester. Moreover, when an organic donor, S-nitro-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), was used, the NO-mediated antiviral effect was also observed in primarily JEV-infected N18, human neuronal NT-2, and BHK-21 cells, as well as in persistently JEV-infected C2-2 cells. These data reaffirm that NO has an effective and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against diversified intracellular pathogens. Interestingly, the antiviral effect of NO was not enhanced by treatment of N18 cells with SNAP prior to JEV infection, a measure which has been shown to greatly increase the antiviral effect of NO in infection by vesicular stomatitis virus. From biochemical analysis of the impact of NO on JEV replication in cell culture, NO was found to profoundly inhibit viral RNA synthesis, viral protein accumulation, and virus release from infected cells. The results herein thus suggest that NO may play a crucial role in the innate immunity of the host to restrict the initial stage of JEV infection in the central nervous system. 相似文献

The interaction between the paramyxovirus of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and the T-suppressor-cell circuit which regulates the expression phase of contact sensitivity reaction to picryl chloride was investigated. NDV infection impairs the T-acceptor-cell (Tacc) activity, as demonstrated by the failure of Tacc from mice infected with NDV both on Day 0 and on Day 3 to release the nonspecific inhibitor of the passive transfer of contact sensitivity. Tacc from NDV-infected mice fail to bind appreciable amounts of exogenous T suppressor factor, so indicating that the virus eliminates this T-cell population. However, macrophages from mice infected with NDV are able to release a nonspecific inhibitor of the passive transfer of contact sensitivity, indicating that the inhibition of Tacc activity in mice infected with NDV is bypassed by macrophages, so that the T-suppressor circuit is functionally active in NDV-infected mice. The mechanism of the selective inhibition of the Tacc activity by NDV is discussed. 相似文献

Chemically synthesized small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can specifically knock-down expression of target genes via RNA interference
(RNAi) pathway. To date, the length of synthetic siRNA duplex has been strictly maintained less than 30 bp, because an early
study suggested that double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) longer than 30 bp could not trigger specific gene silencing due to the
induction of nonspecific antiviral interferon responses. Contrary to the current belief, here we show that synthetic dsRNA
as long as 38 bp can result in specific target gene silencing without nonspecific antiviral responses. Using this longer duplex
structure, we have generated dsRNAs, which can simultaneously knock-down expression of two target genes (termed as dual-target
siRNAs or dsiRNAs). Our results thus demonstrate the structural flexibility of gene silencing siRNAs, and provide a starting
point to construct multifunctional RNA structures. The dsiRNAs could be utilized to develop a novel therapeutic gene silencing
strategy against diseases with multiple gene alternations such as viral infection and cancer. 相似文献

Osteopontin (OPN) has been defined as a key cytokine promoting the release of IL-12 and hence inducing the development of protective cell-mediated immunity to viruses and intracellular pathogens. To further characterize the role of OPN in antiviral immunity, OPN-deficient (OPN-/-) mice were analyzed after infection with influenza virus and vaccinia virus. Surprisingly, we found that viral clearance, lung inflammation, and recruitment of effector T cells to the lung were unaffected in OPN-/- mice after influenza infection. Furthermore, effector status of T cells was normal as demonstrated by normal IFN-gamma production and CTL lytic activity. Moreover, activation and Th1 differentiation of naive TCR transgenic CD4+ T cells by dendritic cells and cognate Ag was normal in the absence of OPN in vitro. Contrary to a previous report, we found that OPN-/- mice mounted a normal immune response to Listeria monocytogenes. In conclusion, OPN is dispensable for antiviral immune responses against influenza virus and vaccinia virus. 相似文献

Effects of type I interferons on Friend retrovirus infection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The type I interferon (IFN) response plays an important role in the control of many viral infections. However, since there is no rodent animal model for human immunodeficiency virus, the antiviral effect of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta in retroviral infections is not well characterized. In the current study we have used the Friend virus (FV) model to determine the activity of type I interferons against a murine retrovirus. After FV infection of mice, IFN-alpha and IFN-beta could be measured between 12 and 48 h in the serum. The important role of type I IFN in the early immune defense against FV became evident when mice deficient in IFN type I receptor (IFNAR(-/-)) or IFN-beta (IFN-beta(-/-)) were infected. The levels of FV infection in plasma and in spleen were higher in both strains of knockout mice than in C57BL/6 wild-type mice. This difference was induced by an antiviral effect of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta and was most likely mediated by antiviral enzymes as well as by an effect of these IFNs on T-cell responses. Interestingly, the lack of IFNAR and IFN-beta enhanced viral loads during acute and chronic FV infection. Exogenous IFN-alpha could be used therapeutically to reduce FV replication during acute but not chronic infection. These findings indicate that type I IFN plays an important role in the immediate antiviral defense against Friend retrovirus infection. 相似文献

NK1.1+ T (NKT) cells are efficient regulators of early host responses which have been shown to play a role in tumor surveillance. The relevance of NKT cells in immune surveillance of viral infections, however, is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the functional relevance of NKT cells in controlling herpesvirus infections by using challenge with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) as the study model. This model has proven to be one of the best systems for evaluating the role of NK cells during virus infection. Using gene-targeted mice and alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer) as an exogenous stimulator of NKT cells, we have analyzed the role of these cells in the immune surveillance of MCMV infection. Our studies in NKT-cell-deficient, T-cell receptor Jalpha281 gene-targeted mice have established that classical NKT cells do not play a critical role in the early clearance of MCMV infection. Importantly, however, activation of NKT cells by alpha-GalCer resulted in reduced viral replication in visceral organs. Depletion studies, coupled with analysis of gene-targeted mice lacking perforin and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma), have revealed that the antiviral effects of alpha-GalCer involve NK cells and have clearly demonstrated that the antiviral activity of alpha-GalCer, unlike the antitumor one, is critically dependent on both perforin and IFN-gamma. 相似文献

The human MxA protein is part of the antiviral state induced by alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta). MxA inhibits the multiplication of several RNA viruses in cell culture. However, its antiviral potential in vivo has not yet been fully explored. We have generated MxA-transgenic mice that lack a functional IFN system by crossing MxA-transgenic mice constitutively expressing MxA with genetically targeted (knockout) mice lacking the beta subunit of the IFN-alpha/beta receptor (IFNAR-1(-/-) mice). These mice are an ideal animal model to investigate the unique antiviral activity of human MxA in vivo, because they are unable to express other IFN-induced proteins. Here, we show that MxA confers resistance to Thogoto virus, La Crosse virus, and Semliki Forest virus. No Thogoto virus progeny was detectable in MxA-transgenic mice, indicating an efficient block of virus replication at the primary site of infection. In the case of La Crosse virus, MxA restricted invasion of the central nervous system. In contrast, Semliki Forest virus multiplication in the brain was detectable in both MxA-expressing and nonexpressing IFNAR-1(-/-) mice. However, viral titers were clearly reduced in MxA-transgenic mice. Our results demonstrate that MxA does not need the help of other IFN-induced proteins for activity but is a powerful antiviral agent on its own. Moreover, the results suggest that MxA may protect humans from potential fatal infections by La Crosse virus and other viral pathogens. 相似文献

The interferon-induced mouse Mx1 protein has intrinsic antiviral activity against orthomyxoviruses, including Thogoto virus. Thus, Mx1+ A2G mice are apparently resistant to infection following needle- or tick-borne virus challenge. However, tick-borne challenge and, to a lesser degree, injection of virus mixed with tick salivary gland extract resulted in virus transmission to uninfected ticks feeding on the A2G mice. The data indicate that immunomodulatory components in tick saliva can overcome a natural antiviral mechanism. 相似文献

Although the relative contribution of different immune effector functions to clearing tissues of cytomegalovirus is controversial, the contribution of CD8+ T lymphocytes has generally been accepted as essential. In this report, we show that under certain conditions the CD8+ T-lymphocyte subset can be dispensable for clearance of cytomegalovirus. Mice depleted of the CD8+ T-lymphocyte subset eliminated infectious virus with a clearance kinetics similar to that of normal mice. Adoptive transfer studies revealed that the limitation of virus spread required the cooperation between the CD4+ subset and other cells. Comparison between protective functions generated in fully immunocompetent and in CD8- mice demonstrated that elimination of the CD8+ subset before infection altered the quality of the antiviral immune response. The compensatory protective activity gained by CD4+ cells in CD8- mice was absent in normal mice recovering from virus infection. 相似文献

Currently used cardiovascular drugs such as nicotinamide, strophanthin, corglycon, curantyl, cavinton, papaverin hydrochloride, nicotinic acid, xantinole nicotinate, isoptin, parmidin and halidor were studied by the program of antiviral drug screening. The majority of them (9 out of 11) were shown to have antiviral activity which was rather individual by its specificity and level. Laboratory strains of 9 viruses inducing the most common infections in man and animals, i.e. Herpes simplex, poxvaccine, influenza, vesicular stomatitis, respiratory syncytial infection, VEE, ECHO. Lassa fever and rotavirus infection were tested. The characteristic feature of the drugs was their high specific activity against the DNA-containing viruses and rotavirus. The three drugs papaverin hydrochloride, strophanthin and corglycon proved to be the most promising. Their antiviral activity was confirmed on a model of herpes infection in mice. The paper discusses whether the phenomenon discovered in the official drugs is important in the therapy of somatic patients. 相似文献
