RESUMO
Youngner, Julius S. (University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa.), and Marion E. Kelly. Inhibition by exogenous interferon of replication of poliovirus ribonucleic acid in chick brain. J. Bacteriol. 90:443–445. 1965.—The replication of poliovirus was studied after the intracerebral inoculation of infectious ribonucleic acid (RNA) into the brains of 2-day-old chicks; these animals are not susceptible to intact virus. Single-cycle replication of virus, which reached a peak in about 12 hr, was completely inhibited by prior intraperitoneal injection of interferon prepared from the allantoic fluid of chick embryos infected with influenza virus. A single dose of as little as 500 units of interferon, measured by a plaque-reduction method, completely suppressed viral replication when injected 24 hr prior to infectious RNA. This system provides a model for the study of the protection of target organs by passively transferred interferon injected at a distance.
