Stringfellow, D.A. et al.

Interferon induction by and toxicity of polyriboinosinic acid [poly(rI)].polyribocytidylic acid [poly (rC)], mismatched analog poly (rI).poly[r(C12Uracil)n], and poly(rI).poly(rC) L-lysine complexed with carboxymethylcellulose.

The ability of polyriboinosionic acid [poly(rI)].polyribocytidylic acid [poly(rC)], mismatched analog poly (rI).poly[r(C12Uracil)n], and poly(rI).poly(rC) complexed with poly L-lysine and carboxymethylcellulose [poly(ICLc)] to induce interferon and the comparative toxicity of each in cats were evaluated. Each induced high levels of circulating interferon, although poly(ICLC) injected intravenously at 1 to 4 mg/kg induced up to 10 times more interferon than the other compounds. Each compound was pyrogenic and caused a transient decrease in leukocyte numbers. Poly(rI).poly(rC) and the mismatched analog caused severe diarrhea and nausea at the highest drug concentrations (1 to 4 mg/kg), but poly (ICLC) did not. Each compound also caused depression and lethargy and impaired coordination.[1]
