[Protective effect of a commercial vaccine, poludan and their combinations in an experimental herpes infection].

The antiviral action of herpes vaccine and poludan, an interferon-inducing agent, has been studied in experimental herpes infection, and the synergic effect of these preparations has been obtained. The best result (survival rate equal to 100% after the intraperitoneal inoculation of herpes simplex virus and 85.7% after its intracerebral inoculation) has been registered after the multiple vaccination of experimental animals and the injection of poludan 1 day before the challenge of the animals with the virus. The protective effect of the synergic action of the preparations under study coincides with the period of the maximum content of antibodies in the blood sera of the animals.

[Antiviral immunity study in systemic diseases].

The investigation of antiviral antibody titers to 8 different antigens: measles, influenza A2 and B, parainfluenza types 1, 2, 3, adenovirus and smallpox, of interferon in the blood serum, the interferon-synthesizing activity of the peripheral blood leukocytes in patients with autoimmune diseases in the period of the disease exacerbation revealed a number of immunological features. Thus, in all groups of patients antibody titers were high to measles, influenza, parainfluenza type 3 viruses, and titers of leukocyte interferon and interferon in the blood serum were 3-4-fold lower than in the control group.

[Effect of prolonged storage times on the infectivity of lyophilized arboviruses].

Lyophilized arboviruses of the following taxonomic groups: alfaviruses, flaviviruses, Bunyamwera supergroup viruses, as well as arenaviruses were used in the study. These viruses had been stored for a long time at --20 degree C. Determinations of the infectious titers in suckling mice showed that in a period of over 10 years (up to 21 years) no complete loss of infectivity occurred in any virus groups.

[Interferon production in multiple sclerosis].

The interferon-synthesizing activity of the peripheral blood leukocytes and serum interferon in the blood of patients with multiple sclerosis were studied. A reverse relationship was found between antibody production (high titers of measles antibody) and the interferon-synthesizing activity of peripheral blood leukocytes in these patients. A 3-fold decline in serum interferon titers was observed in patients with multiple sclerosis as compared with the control group.
