초록

Acute oral, intramuscluar, and intravenous toxicity studies of recombinant human interferon $\alpha$2$\alpha$(rhIFN $\alpha$2$\alpha$) were performed in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. SD rats were administered with doses of 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 MIU/kg, respectively, and clinical signs, mortality and body weight changes were observed for 2 weeks. In all animals administered with rhIFN $\alpha$2$\alpha$, there was neither dead animals nor significant changes of body weights. In addition, no differences were found between control and treated groups in clinical signs and autopsy findings. Therefore, $LD_{50}$ of rhIFN $\alpha$2$\alpha$ was considered to be higher than 500 MIU/kg in SD rats.
