[Experimental morphological study of the therapeutic effect of shark cartilage preparation in a model of infective allergic arthritis].

The therapeutic effect of a Polar shark cartilage preparation which is an enzymatic hydrolysate was studied in a rabbit model of infective allergic pseudotuberculous arthritis. Characterization of the chemical composition of the preparation designed by an original method is presented. Improvement of the general state of the affected joints and development of tissue immunomorphological responses were shown.

[Experimental study on impact of salmon milt DNA on T-cellular immunity].

The impact of a biologically active food supplement containing salmon milt DNA on cellular immunity was experimentally studied. It was shown that the DNA had a dose-dependent stimulating effect on lymphocyte transformation, stimulated the DTH response and protected from experimental listeriosis infection.

[Experimental study on the effect of low molecular DNA from salmon milt in pseudotuberculosis infection].

The effect of low molecular DNA from salmon milt (nDNA) in experimental pseudotuberculosis in mice was studied. When nDNA was admiministered orally, dissemination of the organs by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis lowered and the survival of the animals infected with 100-percent lethal dose of the bacteria increased. nDNA decreased contamination of the epithelial cells by the microbe in vitro and prevented the lethal effect of the Y.

[Experimental study on the effect of low molecular DNA from salmon milt on hemopoiesis].

Biological activity of low molecular DNA isolated from salmon milt was studied. When administered subcutaneously to mice with with acute experimental radiation disease in a course dose of 10 mg/kg, it showed a therapeutic effect, stimulated hemopoiesis, increased the survival rate and the average life span of the animals. Moreover, its marked effect on the humoral immunity was observed.

[Activity of proteolytic and nucleolytic enzymes from the gonades of hydrobionts].

The activity of nucleolytic and proteolytic enzymes in milt of nine kinds of fishes belonging to various families and of three kinds invertebrates is determined. There is carried out electrophoreses division of preparations DNA, received from milts by various methods; there are determined structure and molecular weights of oligonucleotides. The influence of activity tissue enzymes on a destruction degree of DNA is established at addition enzymes of exogenic origin.
