Viral infections remain a major threat to humans and animals and there is a crucial need for new antiviral agents especially with the development of resistant viruses. The hexane, dichloromethane, acetone and methanol extracts of six plant species selected for their traditional use against infections were tested for in vitro antiviral activity against canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parainfluenza virus-2 (CPIV-2), feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1) and lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). All extracts were tested for their cytotoxicity using a colorimetric tetrazolium-based (MTT) assay and were tested for antiviral efficacy at concentrations below CC(50) values on the various cell types used in this study. The antiviral activity of extracts was tested using virucidal and attachment assays. In the virucidal assay, extracts were incubated with virus prior to infection. The most potent inhibition was observed with the acetone and methanol extracts of Podocarpus henkelii against CDV and LSDV, which inhibited replication of the viruses by >75% at 3μg/ml with selectivity index (SI) values ranging between 12 and 45. Excellent activity was also found with the hexane extracts of Plumbago zeylanica and Carissa edulis against CDV, with the extracts reducing viral-induced CPE by 50% and 75% respectively. The hexane extract of C. edulis had moderate activity against FHV-1 with EC(50)<70μg/ml and SI value <2. Only the acetone extract of P. henkelii moderately inhibited replication of LSD virus in the attachment assay, with low activity in other extracts. Of the four extracts with significant antiviral activity, two were prepared from P. henkelii. Therefore, future work will focus on isolating and characterizing the substance(s) responsible for bioactivity in extracts of this species. 相似文献

Variation in the immune status of two Australian pig breeds 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Objective To investigate the variation in immune competence of two Australian pig breeds.
Design A panel of immune tests were used to assess breed and sire differences in weaner piglets of Large White and Duroc breeds.
Procedure All piglets were immunised against porcine leptospirosis. Blood samples were taken for studies on lymphocyte phenotypes, mitogenic responses of blood cells and serological analysis.
Results Significantly larger blood leucocyte numbers were found in Large White piglets compared with Duroc piglets after vaccinations. No significant difference in concanavalin A induced blood cell proliferation was found between these two breeds before or after vaccinations. Some significant breed variation in blood lymphocyte phenotypes was found. While the age-related changes of lymphocyte phenotypes were similar for the two breeds, the Large White breed had significantly larger numbers of CD2+ and CD4+ cells than the Duroc breed after the two vaccinations. There were also significant sire effects on CD8+ cells within the Large White breed after the first vaccination. No significant breed difference was detectable in serum IgG concentrations but sire differences within each breed before the primary vaccination were found. The serum antibody response to vaccination against leptospirosis was generally small, and showed no variations due to either breed or sire. No gender effects were found during the entire study.
Conclusion The study demonstrated significant differences in some important immune components of the pig breeds studied. This may in turn indicate the variation in their immune competence or disease resistance. However, further investigation into the heritability and correlation with specific immune responses is required. 相似文献
