Abstract
Mosla scabra (Thunb.) C. Y. Wu is a broadly used species in the southeastern China as an antipyretic and antiviral drug for the treatment of colds, fever, inflammation and chronic bronchitis. To investigate the anti-influenza virus activities of the aqueous extract from Mosla scabra (AEMS), and to provide evidence for the implication of its immunomodulatory potential for the overall protective effect in lethal murine experimental influenza A infection. The anti-influenza virus activities of AEMS or ribavirin were evaluated in embryonated eggs and in a mouse infection model and the effects of AEMS on early immune responses during influenza virus infection were evaluated in a mouse infection model. At the concentration of 0.3-30.0mg/ml, AEMS exhibited both preventive and therapeutical effect on embryonated egg. Oral administration of AEMS to mice infected with influenza virus A (IVA) was highly effective in preventing death, inhibiting pneumonia and reducing lung viral titers. It also significantly enhanced IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-5 cytokine-producing splenocytes, increased T-cell subsets like CD4(+) and CD4(+)/CD8(+), decreased levels of IL-6 after infection, and provided protective immunity. At a dosage of 4800 mg/kg, almo...Continue Reading
