Recent studies have shown that interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) synergizes with IFN-alpha/beta to inhibit the replication of both RNA and DNA viruses. We investigated the effects of IFNs on the replication of two strains of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). While treatment of Vero E6 cells with 100 U/ml of either IFN-beta or IFN-gamma marginally reduced viral replication, treatment with both IFN-beta and IFN-gamma inhibited SARS-CoV plaque formation by 30-fold and replication by 3000-fold at 24 h and by > 1 x 10(5)-fold at 48 and 72 h post-infection. These studies suggest that combination IFN treatment warrants further investigation as a treatment for SARS.
近期研究表明,γ干扰素(IFN-γ)可与α/β干扰素协同作用,抑制RNA和DNA病毒的复制。我们研究了干扰素对两株严重急性呼吸综合征相关冠状病毒(SARS-CoV)复制的影响。用100 U/ml的β干扰素或γ干扰素处理Vero E6细胞时,病毒复制仅略有减少,而同时用β干扰素和γ干扰素处理时,在感染后24小时,SARS-CoV蚀斑形成受到30倍抑制,病毒复制受到3000倍抑制;在48小时和72小时,病毒复制受到超过1×10⁵倍抑制。这些研究表明,联合使用干扰素治疗作为SARS的一种治疗方法值得进一步研究。
