Modification of poly(C) by various frequency treatment with adenosine non-complementary to guanosine has produced poly(G) X poly (C.A) complexes with continuous double-stranded areas the length of which is determined by C/A ratio. Studies of the antiviral activity of poly(G).poly(C,A) complexes with C/A from 10:1 to 90:1 and poly(G).poly(C) in vesicular stomatitis virus-infected chick embryo cell cultures and in experimental tick-borne encephalitis of mice demonstrated that the maximum activity is achieved at an average lengths of double-stranded areas of 90 nucleotide pairs. At the same time, a low but statistically significant antiviral activity is observed at a length of double-stranded areas of 10-30 nucleotide pairs.

D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick

D004675 Encephalitis, Tick-Borne Encephalitis caused by neurotropic viruses that are transmitted via the bite of TICKS. In Europe, the diseases are caused by ENCEPHALITIS VIRUSES, TICK-BORNE, which give rise to Russian spring-summer encephalitis, central European encephalitis, louping ill encephalitis, and related disorders. Powassan encephalitis occurs in North America and Russia and is caused by the Powassan virus. ASEPTIC MENINGITIS and rarely encephalitis may complicate COLORADO TICK FEVER which is endemic to mountainous regions of the western United States.

D000998 Antiviral Agents Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.
