Popis: The antiviral activity of a novel biological response modifier (murabutide MDP derivative) has been investigated in 3-week-old OF1 mice infected with influenza (A/Texas/1/77) virus. In each experimental and control group, 10 mice were infected intranasally with a viral dose producing 50% mortality in 5 days and received murabutide via the subcutaneous or intranasal route at various doses either in a simple or in daily repeated administration. All experiments were done in triplicate. Significant prophylactic or therapeutic effects were observed when murabutide was administered the same day as virus, 4 days or 2 days before virus, and 2 days later. These effects varied with the route of administration and the doses of the compound.
