[Enhanced activity of the protective factors in patients with suppurative surgical infection using interferon preparations].

Administration of leukocytic interferon to patients with sepsis and purulent resorptive fever resulted in a reliable increase in the indices of the host protective factors with respect to the infections. Addition of interferon to the surgical and antibacterial treatment promoted a decrease in the periods providing the clinical effect to 19.8 days against 43.8 days in the treatment without interferon.

[Antiviral activity of preparations of RNA isolated from cells treated with interferon (messenger RNA for an antiviral protein?)].

Chick embryo cultures treated with interferon yielded a biologically active RNA which, upon inoculation into chick embryo cells, created an antiviral condition in them. The level of vesicular stomatitis virus reproduction in such cells was 2-30% of that observed in the cells treated with control RNA. The maximum activity of the experimental RNA was seen 3 hours after the treatment with interferon.

[Transfection by integrated proviruses].

Three lines of continuous mouse L cells were compared: one of them contained only its endogenic oncornavirus, another was contaminated with SV5 virus, and a third was obtained from the second line chronically infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. Experiments with transfection showed that it was possible to recover SV5 virus from the two former cultures and vesicular stomatitis virus from the latter.

[Assessment of the sensitivity of immunoprecipitation for the serodiagnosis of influenzal-bacterial pneumonias].

A comparative examination of 226 paired sera from patients with pneumonia was carried out by CFT, HI, neuraminidase activity inhibition (NI) and double immunodiffusion. A correlation of the results of agar gel precipitation and the CFT and HI tests was observed. Convalescent sera contained antibody to influenza virus ribonucleoprotein frequently, less so to its neuraminidase or hemagglutinin. The precipitation test was shown to be highly sensitive, easy to perform, and therefore should be used in examinations of sera from patients with influenza-bacterial pneumonia.

[The comparative effects of actinomycin D, imuren and hydrocortisone on interferon and antibody formation in mice].

A single dose of actinomycin-D (2.5 mg/kg body wt) reduced the interferon formation 16-fold in comparison with control; as to the antibody production - it was completely abolished. Hydrocortiosone (100 mg/kg) also diminished the interferon production 16-fold, but had no effect on the production of antibodies against the virus. The effect of hydrocortisone on the antiviral immunity was similar to that of the antilymphocytic serum, whereas the action of actinomycin-D resembled the effect of the X-ray irradiation or imuran. The data obtained were consistent with the suggestion on the heterogeneity of cells, participating in the interferon production in the organism.

[Role of neuraminidase from cholera vibrions in the pathogenesis of experimental cholera].

A study was made of a possible effect of neuraminidase of cholera vibrios on cholera pathogenesis. It was shown that in intraintestinal injection of cholera vibrios of the El Tor biotype to nursling rabbits neuraminidase could be revealed in their intestine 5 to 8 hours after the infection. Addition of neuraminidase to the weakly cholerogenic strain cholera vibrios intensified its cholerogenic action in infection of the animals. The antineuraminidase serum administered to the infected rabbits prevented clinical manifestations of experimental cholera, although it failed to always eliminate the cholerogenic syndrome (revealed during autopsy). At the same time neuraminidase did not influence the capacity of cholerogen to produce the cholerogenic syndrome. The authors consider that the action of the enzyme should occur at the early stages of the pathogenic process, and could be associated with creation of conditions for the attachement of cholera causative agent to the intestinal wall or for the action of their exotoxin.

[Effect of immunodepression on virus multiplication and interferon and antibody formation in animals].

Administration of high doses of imuran had no significant effect on the multiplication of influenza A/PR8 and Coxsackie A6 viruses. However, the serum levels of interferon and antibody were completely suppressed. Peripheral leukocytes of mice given imuran produced no interferon in vitro. These data suggest that the impairment of formation of the antiviral immunity factors resulting from the administration of high doses of immunosuppressants, such as used during the graft rejection crises, could serve as one of the main causes facilitating viral infections in the course of the transplantation therapy. The results could be of practical importance for the development of the optimal immunosuppression schedules during the organ transplantation.

[Bone marrow interferon].

The nucleated cells of the bone marrow of mouse, rat, guinea pig, chick, cattle and humans proved to be capable of producing interferon in vitro following induction with the Newcastle disease virus. The production of interferon by these cells was characterized by high stability. The bone marrow interferon was not inferior in its activity to the corresponding interferon prepared with the blood leukocytes or splenic cells.
