| Popis: | SummaryStudies were conducted in mice and chicks to measure the prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy of poly I:C in a variety of infections by both DNA and RNA viruses. Drug and virus were given by a variety of routes in a number of different regimens including variable drug and virus dosage. Marked prophylactic protection was obtained against PVM, Columbia SK, vaccinia, and parainfluenza 1 virus infections in mice. Poly I:C was therapeutic against PVM infection in mice when given as late as 3 days after infection and the duration of protective effect induced by poly I:C persisted for almost 7 days in the PVM system. Weak responses were noted against rabies, influenza B, and Rous sarcoma viruses, while the responses to influenza A, yellow fever, and Marek's agent were negative. The highly complex relationships between virus and drug administration will necessitate further study before optimal prophylactic and therapeutic regimens can be developed.The authors are indebted to Carolyn Saydah, Carol Bonoma, ... |
