Rat cytomegalovirus: induction of and sensitivity to interferon. 1983

C A Bruggeman, and H Schellekens, and G Grauls, and W M Debie, and C P van Boven

Rat interferon (IFN) in a dose-dependent fashion inhibited the cytopathic effect of rat cytomegalovirus (RCMV) in rat cell cultures. Treatment of Lewis and Brown Norway (BN) rats with intraperitoneal injections of IFN reduced the amount of virus recovered from the spleens at 3 days post infection (p.i.) and from the salivary glands at 10 and 21 days p.i. In cell cultures, RCMV failed to induce detectable amounts of IFN. Small amounts of IFN were detectable in the serum of BN rats at 3 days p.i. In Lewis rats no IFN was found in serum at any time during the first month p.i.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007372 Interferons Proteins secreted by vertebrate cells in response to a wide variety of inducers. They confer resistance against many different viruses, inhibit proliferation of normal and malignant cells, impede multiplication of intracellular parasites, enhance macrophage and granulocyte phagocytosis, augment natural killer cell activity, and show several other immunomodulatory functions. Interferon

D003586 Cytomegalovirus Infections Infection with CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, characterized by enlarged cells bearing intranuclear inclusions. Infection may be in almost any organ, but the salivary glands are the most common site in children, as are the lungs in adults.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.
