A new formulation (NF) of subcutaneous (sc) interferon (IFN) β-1a was developed in an attempt to improve injection tolerability and immunogenicity. We compared antiviral and IFNβ-stimulated gene (ISG) activities of IFNβ-1a sc NF with IFNβ-1a sc original formulation and IFNβ-1b sc. When equivalent unit amounts were compared, the IFNβ formulations demonstrated similar antiviral activity and induced similar levels of ISG mRNA. However, on a weight basis (ng/mL), significantly more IFNβ-1b sc was needed to equal the antiviral activity of either IFNβ-1a sc formulation, and both IFNβ-1a sc formulations induced significantly higher levels of ISG mRNA than IFNβ-1b sc.
为了提高注射耐受性和免疫原性,研发了一种皮下注射用干扰素β-1a的新剂型(NF)。我们比较了皮下注射干扰素β-1a新剂型、皮下注射干扰素β-1a原剂型和皮下注射干扰素β-1b的抗病毒活性以及干扰素β刺激基因(ISG)活性。当比较等效单位量时,各干扰素β制剂表现出相似的抗病毒活性,并诱导出相似水平的ISG mRNA。然而,以重量计(ng/mL),要达到与任一皮下注射干扰素β-1a制剂相同的抗病毒活性,皮下注射干扰素β-1b所需的量显著更多,且两种皮下注射干扰素β-1a制剂诱导的ISG mRNA水平均显著高于皮下注射干扰素β-1b。
