Postexposure protection of guinea pigs against a lethal ebola virus challenge is conferred by RNA interference.
BACKGROUND Ebola virus (EBOV) infection causes a frequently fatal hemorrhagic fever (HF) that is refractory to treatment with currently available antiviral therapeutics. RNA interference represents a powerful, naturally occurring biological strategy for the inhibition of gene expression and has demonstrated utility in the inhibition of viral replication. Here, we describe the development of a p...
متن کاملCortin Protection against Anaphylactic Shock in Guinea Pigs
Studies have been made on a possible protective action of cortin in the prevention of anaphylactic shock induced by crystallized egg albumin. Of sixteen control guinea pigs only two survived. Sixteen of thirty-three cortin-treated animals received hormone at the optimum period of from 2 to 6 hours before the shocking dose. Nine survived and two others showed some protection. In groups treated a...
متن کاملPostexposure prophylaxis against anthrax: evaluation of various treatment regimens in intranasally infected guinea pigs.
The efficiency of postexposure prophylaxis against Bacillus anthracis infection was tested in guinea pigs infected intranasally with either Vollum or strain ATCC 6605 spores (75 times the 50% lethal dose [LD(50)] and 87 times LD(50,) respectively). Starting 24 h postinfection, animals were treated three times per day for 14 days with ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, erythromycin, cefazolin, and tri...
متن کاملProphylaxis against soman inhalation toxicity in guinea pigs by pretreatment alone with human serum butyrylcholinesterase.
Human butyrylcholinesterase (HuBChE) has previously been shown to protect mice, rats, and monkeys against multiple lethal toxic doses of organophosphorus (OP) anticholinesterases that were challenged by i.v. bolus injections. This study examines the concept of using a cholinesterase scavenger as a prophylactic measure against inhalation toxicity, which is the more realistic simulation of exposu...
متن کاملAntitussive Effect of Plantago lanceolata in Guinea Pigs
Background: Several therapeutic effects including anti-asthma and dyspnea have been described for Plantago lanceolata. In the present study the antitussive effect of this plant was evaluated. Methods: The antitussive effects of aerosols of two different concentrations of Soxhlet and macerated ethanolic extracts, codeine and saline were tested by counting the number of coughs produced due to aer...
