ASSESSMENT OF NEUTRALIZING PROPERTIES OF DNA-APTAMERS AND EXTRACTS OF MEDICINAL HERBS AGAINST THE TICK-BORNE ENCEPHALITIS VIRUS

Tick borne encephalitis (TBE) is a dangerous neurological disease that is transmitted to humans through the bite of Ixodid ticks. The disease exhibits an estimated 16 000 cases recorded annually over 30 European and Asian countries. The agent of TBE is the tick borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), belon...

The disease exhibits an estimated 16 000 cases recorded annually over 30 European and Asian countries. The agent of TBE is the tick borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), belonging to the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. In spite the significant impact of TBE on human health, there is a serious lack of specific treatment against this disease. The only specific drug available is the human anti-TBEV immunoglobulin from vaccinated blood donors. The drug is produced and used in Russia only, both to prevent and to cure the TBE. In this work, we evaluated the ability of TBEV-specific DNA-aptamers and extracts of traditional medicine plants to neutralize the TBEV Selection of aptamers was performed using SELEX approach. Extracts of the seeds of Momordica cochinchinensis and Terminalia chebula were produced by boiling the ground seeds in water, clarified by centrifugation and filtration steps and filter sterilized. The SELEX had produced two aptamers - My13 and My38. Neither of two was capable to neutralize TBEV in vitro. The ability to shield the antibody binding sites on the surface of TBEV virions was also absent. The extract of M. cochinchinensis exhibited no neutralizing activity as well. Surprisingly, the T. chebula extract completely neutralized the TBEV after 30 min of incubation at 37 °C. The possible explanations and further development of the project are discussed.I. S.
