Natural bovine leukocyte interferon (IFN) was produced in high titer (15,314 U/ml), with Sendai virus as the inducer at 300 hemagglutinating units (HA)/ml and 12 h incubation. Its antiviral activity was completely stable for 30 days at 4 degrees C, -20 degrees C, or -70 degrees C, and 96 h at 37 degrees C, but some activity was lost after 15 min at 56 degrees C. All activity was lost after treatment with trypsin, but pH 2.0 dialysis had no effect. Bovine leukocyte IFN inhibited growth of bovine kidney cells in tissue culture. The system reported could be used to produce bovine leukocyte IFN in quantities sufficient for clinical use in cattle.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007369 Interferon Inducers Agents that promote the production and release of interferons. They include mitogens, lipopolysaccharides, and the synthetic polymers Poly A-U and Poly I-C. Viruses, bacteria, and protozoa have been also known to induce interferons. Inducers, Interferon
D007370 Interferon Type I Interferon secreted by leukocytes, fibroblasts, or lymphoblasts in response to viruses or interferon inducers other than mitogens, antigens, or allo-antigens. They include alpha- and beta-interferons (INTERFERON-ALPHA and INTERFERON-BETA). Interferons Type I,Type I Interferon,Type I Interferons,Interferon, Type I,Interferons, Type I
D010222 Parainfluenza Virus 1, Human A species of RESPIROVIRUS also called hemadsorption virus 2 (HA2), which causes laryngotracheitis in humans, especially children. Hemadsorption Virus 2,Human parainfluenza virus 1,Para-Influenza Virus Type 1,Parainfluenza Virus Type 1,Para Influenza Virus Type 1
