- Abstract -
A significant reduction of mortality after lethal irradiation
(7,8 and 9 Gy X-ray total-body irradiation) was achieved by continuous therapeutic
subcutaneous application of the biologic inducers PIND-AVI and PIND-ORF. This
was obtained by a stimulation of the investigated spleen parameters and a stimulation
of leucocytes and phagocytosis. The inducers had no significant influence on
the radiogenic reduction of blood cells and bone marrow cells, of the relative
spleen and thymus weight and of the DNA and protein level of spleen and thymus.
The regeneration of blood leucocytes (preponderantly by PIND-AVI) and of the
spleen (preponderantly by PIND-ORF) was accelerated, but not the thymus regeneration
which was already rather low. The leucocyte phagocytosis which increased generally
after irradiation was markedly stimulated by paramunization. This stimulation
was also observed after a latent time in animals submitted to sham irradiation.
Its temporal appearance and its quantitative and qualitative properties corresponded
to the effects of inducers after X-ray irradiation. Both inducers were found
to be harmless in all experiments.

- Abstract -
Despite many attempts to find reliable in vitro criteria for the efficacy
of Biological Response Modifiers--BRMs (immunomodulators, paramunity inducers)
animal challenge models are still the only way to demonstrate the totality of
interlocking defense mechanisms. Challenge models with mouse pathogenic viruses
provide an excellent possibility to study protective effects of BRMs against
acute or chronic forms of viral diseases. For comparative studies two completely
different virus challenge models--Pseudorabies PR and Stomatitis Vesicularis
VSV--were developed with adult and baby NMRI mice respectively. The potency
of BRMs in preventing lethal disease reveals significant differences depending
upon the sort of BRM, the route of application and the time of pretreatment.
Defense mechanisms important for the control of Pseudorabies virus infection
in adult NMRI mice were tested in vitro (ex vivo) and correlated well with the
degree of protection in vivo. Comparison of BRM efficacy in selective viral
challenge models combined with screening of a variety of antiviral defense functions
in infected animals in vitro provide reliable methods in demonstrating the potency
of BRMs against viral infections.

- Abstract -
Attenuated and by treatment with gamma rays inactivated avian
Pox viruses (PIND-AVI) stimulate in man and animals selectively the T-lymphocytes.
In this way PIND-AVI helps to repair a reduced reactivity of lymphocytes damaged
by cytostatic chemotherapy: The lymphocyte stimulation by phytohemagglutinin
could be normalized. In immunodeficient patients PIND-AVI showed very good effects
in the treatment of herpes Virus infections.
