重组人干扰素α2b鼻腔喷雾剂预防治疗恒河猴感染SARS-CoV病毒的作用效果试验

Experimental evaluation of interferon α2b against SARS-CoV on Rhesus monkeys

[目的]评价重组人干扰素α2b鼻腔喷雾剂对预防治疗SARS-CoV病毒感染恒河猴的作用。[方法]10只恒河猴随机分为2组,每组5只。分别为试验组(重组人干扰素α2b鼻腔喷雾剂)和对照组(空白干扰素)。分别在攻毒前19h和1h,攻毒后7h、23h、31h、47h、55h、71h、95h和119h不同时间经鼻吸入受试物,0.4ml/只。按计划定时取咽拭子做real-timePCR检测和病毒分离;取静脉血做病毒分离检测、中和抗体、IgG、血常规、血生化和血凝指标。[结果]1.SARS感染对照组:全部动物咽拭子标本经real-timePCR均检出SARS-CoV病毒,持续时间从攻毒后2天至8天。攻毒后2天3只、5天1只、7天2只,其咽拭子标本中病毒分离阳性,进一步证实病毒在体内的复制。攻毒后,诱导产生高滴度的抗体和中和抗体,证实病毒感染。大体解剖全部动物肺脏为灰白色,有大面积出血,其中2只动物肺脏与胸壁有粘连,组织病理称典型SARS肺炎性病变。2.干扰素试验组:和对照组相同时间取的咽拭子等标本中,real-timePCR检测和病毒分离均未检出病毒。攻毒后病毒导致机体产生的中和抗体和IgG抗体的反应很弱。血常规、血生化和血凝指标结果表明干扰素试验组动物攻毒后各项指标较试验前比较没有显著性改变;大体解剖动物肺脏为灰粉色,4只动物肺脏有少量出血,其中1只动物肺脏与胸壁有粘连,组织病理未见典型SARS肺炎性病变。因而认为,重组人干扰素α2b鼻腔喷雾剂可以有效阻断SARS-CoV病毒对恒河猴的感染;;为预防人类感染SARS提供参考。

Prevention against SARS needs effective medicines, vaccines and bio-products. Based on our early work on Rhesus monkey as SARS model, and successful evaluation inactivated vaccine on SARS Rhesus monkeys last year, we attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of interferon α2b by using SARS monkeys in this test. Experimental monkeys were divided into two groups, 5 animals in group 1 were medicated with interferon α2b; 5 animals in group 2 were treated with placebo, After inoculation of SARS-CoV, the animals in...
