Abstract

LBD-007, a newly developed recombinant human interferon alpha A, was at dose levels of 0, 3 $\times$ $10^6$, 6 $\times$ $10^6$ and 12 $\times$ $10^6$ IU/kg/day administered subctaneously to pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats during the organogenetic period. Ethylenethiourea was used as a positive control. 2/3 of dams per group were subjected to caesarean section on day 20 of pregnancy and the remaining 10 dams per group were allowed to deliver. Effects of test substance on dams, embryonal development development of F1 fetuses, as well as growth, behaviour and mating performance of F1 offspring were examined. 1. No treatment-related changes in clinical signs, food consumption, body weight and necropsy findings of dams were observed.
