Previous studies have demonstrated little efficacy of interferons (IFNs) in animal models of Ebola virus disease. However, these studies were limited to a small number of type I IFNs and, during the most recent outbreak of Ebola virus, questions regarding the suitability of the animal models to evaluate IFNs were raised. To address the potential that anti-Ebola virus activity was overlooked, type I and type II IFNs (α-2a, α-2b, -β, -γ, and -universal) were tested in a variety of cell types (Vero E6, Huh 7 cells, and human macrophages). IFNs are weak inhibitors of Ebola virus Makona in these cell lines.
先前的研究表明,干扰素(IFNs)在埃博拉病毒病动物模型中的疗效甚微。然而,这些研究仅限于少数几种I型干扰素,并且在最近一次埃博拉病毒爆发期间,人们对用于评估干扰素的动物模型的适用性提出了质疑。为了探究抗埃博拉病毒活性被忽视的可能性,研究人员在多种细胞类型(Vero E6细胞、Huh 7细胞和人类巨噬细胞)中测试了I型和II型干扰素(α-2a、α-2b、β、γ和通用型)。在这些细胞系中,干扰素是埃博拉病毒马科纳株的弱抑制剂。
