Evaluation of age-related effects on the antiviral activity of interferon and induction of 2-5A synthetase in testicular cell cultures derived from swine of various ages

Bosworth, B.T. | Maclachlan, N.J.
The antiviral activity of recombinant DNA-derived bovine alpha 1-1 interferon on an established swine testicular cell line and primary testicular cell cultures derived from swine of various ages (2 days, 3 weeks, and 5 weeks) was determined. Bovine interferon induced a dose-dependent increase in 2-5A synthetase in testicular cells, regardless of the source of the cells. Furthermore, interferon inhibited replication of vesicular stomatitis virus to an equivalent extent in all testicular cell cultures. The results indicate that 2-5A synthetase is a reliable marker of interferon activity in swine testicular cell cultures and that the induction of 2-5A synthetase and antiviral effects of recombinant bovine interferon in primary testicular cell cultures are not dependent on the age of the donor animal.
