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.
