Abstract:

We presented the new theory of flu pathogenesis with participation of proteinases-inhibitory system is offered. Cleaning and concentration of flu virus with centrifugation does not exempt virus from proteins with proteinases activity. Additional cleaning of flu virus in saccharobise�??s ladder-shaped gradient showed that the main quantity of flu virus and the greater part of proteolytic activity has been localized around 38-43% saccharobise�??s concentration. Primarily associated flu virus proteinase in sacchorobise�??s gradient was divided into four isoforms, and proteinase from normal horionallantoisny membranes �?? into 3 isoforms. The latter were 345 times lower than virus inductive forms. During experimental animal�??s infection by flu virus, there was violation of fermentative and inhibitory balance, especially during the first hours after infection. Virus-inductive cellular inhibitor plays an important role in proteinase blocking during first hours after infection. After its exhaustion, the leading role in the development of infection is assumed by trypsin-like proteinases which started to split hemagglutinin and in this connection, there was the growth of an infectious titer. From the lungs of healthy mice, six isoforms of trypsin-like proteinase have been discharged. To them anti-protease immune sera were obtained and the treatment of animals with their use was carried out. 60% of the mice survived only at the effect of anti-serum to the III isoform. Inhibitor of trypsin-like proteinases emitted from the lungs of healthy mice, protected the experimental animals from death for 80% and is a perspective antiinfluenza drug. It has been established that the greatest number of trypsin-like proteinase and its inhibitor contained in the fractions of waste of the I and II stages of industrial manufacturing of gamma-globulin and albumin from donor blood which are utilized.
