Abstract

Interferons are kinds of cytokines that play an important role in antiviral defense mechanisms during viral infection by converting cells to synthesize proteins that inhibit viral replication. In the present study, an antiviral response against Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) was developed in common carp, Cyprinus carpio following stimulation with the potent interferon inducer, poly inosinic : cytidylic acid (poly I:C). Poly I:C injected fish showed lower cumulative mortalities against SVCV than untreated fish did. Moreover, in vitro study showed that head kidney leucocytes (HKLs) produced an interferon-like cytokine (ILC) after stimulation with poly I:C. According cytopathic effect reduction (CPER) assay to examine antiviral activity of crude ILC, the capacity of HKLs for ILC production was highest at 1×$10^6$cells/ml and significantly enhanced when treated with 20~50$\mu{g}$/ml of poly I:C. The optimal temperature and concentration of FBS to induce the highest ILC production were $20^\circ{C}$ and 5%, respectively.

인터페론은 바이러스에 감염된 세포에서 생성되어 다른 세포로 하여금 바이러스의 증식을 억제하는 단백질을 합성하게 하는 사이토카인의 일종으로서 바이러스에 대한 방어작용에서 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 본 연구 결과 강력한 인터페론 유도물질로 알려져 있는 poly inosinic : cytidylic acid (poly I:C)를 잉어에 주사한 결과 SVCV에 대한 항바이러스 활성을 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, Poly I:C 주사구에서 대조구에 비해 누적폐사율이 감소하였으며, 또한 두신백혈구를 분리하여, poly I:C를 처리한 결과 interferon-like cytokine (ILC)이 생성되었다. Crude ILC의 항바이러스 활성을 cytopathic effect reduction (CPER) assay로 조사한 결과, 적정 HKLs 농도는 1×$10^6$cells/ml으로 나타났으며, 20~50$\mu{g}$/ml 농도의 poly I:C를 처리했을 때 유의적으로 증가하였다. ILC 생성을 위한 적정온도 및 FBS의 농도는 각각 20$20^\circ{C}$와 5%로 나타났다.
