[Effect of migillin on protein synthesis in intact and virally infected TKCE and FL cells]. / Vliianie migillina na sintez belka v intaktnykh i infitsirovannykh virusami kletkakh PPEK i FL

The effect of migillin was studied with respect to protein synthesis in the cells of TKCE (transplantable line of cells of the kidneys of cow embryos) and FL--intact and infected with viruses of aphtous fever A22, strain 550 and poliomyelitis of type III, strain Saukett respectively. Simultaneously the effect of migillin on sensitivity of the cells to the above viruses was tested. The synthesis of protein was determined by incorporation of C14-glycine into the acid insoluble fraction of the cells. It was found that protein synthesis significantly increased under the effect of migillin in both the intact cells and the cells infected with the viruses. The viruses of aphtous fever and poliomyelitis inhibited the synthesis of proteins. The antibiotic increased the activity of dehydrogenases and respiration of HEp-2 cells. Migillin markedly suppressed reproduction of the poliomyelitis virus, the effect on the virus of aphtous fever was lower in the cell culture. In guinea pigs the antiviral effect of the antibiotic resulted in prolongation of the incubation period and retardation of the aphtous fever process generalization. The results of the experiments showed that migillin stimulated the activity of dehydrogenases, respiration, protein synthesis in the cell cultures and possessed antiviral activity in vitro and in vivo.
