25. Antiviral Activity of Extracts from Marine Algae†
Extracts of two species of marine algae, Constantinea simplex and Farlowia mollis, were tested for antiviral activity in tissue culture and in experimental infections of mice. Treatment of confluent mouse embryo fibroblast cell monolayers with either compound before viral inoculation was effective in inhibiting the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1

26. Antiviral Activity of BL-3849A, a Low-Molecular-Weight Oral Interferon Inducer1
Oral administration of BL-3849A to adult mice resulted in peak serum interferon titers of 4,000 units from 15 to 30 h after administration, with detectable levels persisting until 48 h. After intraperitoneal (i.p.) inoculation, peak serum interferon titers of 1,000 to 3,000 units were noted between 9 and 18 h. Multiple injections of the inducer by either rou

27. Mechanisms of monoclonal antibody-mediated protection against virulent Semliki Forest virus.
Both neutralizing and nonneutralizing immunoglobulin G2a monoclonal antibodies (MAs) directed against the E2 glycoprotein of Semliki Forest virus (SFV) protected mice prophylactically and therapeutically against virulent SFV infection. The neutralizing MAs, however, conferred protection to mice at lower doses than did nonneutralizing MAs. The antibody-depend

28. Optimisation and molecular signalling of apoptosis in sequential cryotherapy and chemotherapy combination in human A549 lung cancer xenografts in SCID mice
We define the optimal parameters for combination of cryotherapy (nitrous oxide) with chemotherapy (vinorelbine ditartrate, VNB) treatment and characterise some of the signals involved for apoptosis activation. No advantage appeared when cryotherapy and VNB were combined simultaneously compared to cryosurgery alone. In contrast, tumour volumes were reduced af

29. Tunicamycin treatment inhibits the antiviral activity of interferon in mice.
Earlier we reported that tunicamycin (TM) treatment of L cells in vitro significantly enhances the antiviral activity of interferon (IFN) against viruses (such as vesicular stomatitis, Sindbis, and herpes simplex) which bud from membranes. However, no such enhancement of the antiviral activity of IFN by TM was observed against encephalomyocarditis virus (EMC

30. Effective Protective Immunity to Yersinia pestis Infection Conferred by DNA Vaccine Coding for Derivatives of the F1 Capsular Antigen
Three plasmids expressing derivatives of the Yersinia pestis capsular F1 antigen were evaluated for their potential as DNA vaccines. These included plasmids expressing the full-length F1, F1 devoid of its putative signal peptide (deF1), and F1 fused to the signal-bearing E3 polypeptide of Semliki Forest virus (E3/F1). Expression of these derivatives in trans

31. Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Single Doses of (+)-Calanolide A, a Novel, Naturally Occurring Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor, in Healthy, Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Negative Human Subjects
(+)-Calanolide A is a novel, naturally occurring, nonnucleoside inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase first isolated from a tropical tree (Calophyllum lanigerum) in the Malaysian rain forest. Previous studies have demonstrated that (+)-calanolide A has specific activity against the reverse transcriptase of HIV-1 and a
