Description pharmaceutical form:

Both dosage forms: loose or porous mass of white color, hygroscopic.

Description pharmacological action:

Ingaron — recombinant interferon gamma human, consists of 144 amino acid residues (a.on.), deprived of the first three.about. — Cys-Tyr-Cys replaced by Met. Molecular mass of 16.9 kDa. Obtained by microbiological synthesis in a recombinant strain of Escherichia coli and purified column chromatography. The specific antiviral activity on the cells (human fibroblasts) infected with vesicular stomatitis virus is 2·10 7 U/mg of protein. Interferon-gamma (immune interferon) is a key proinflammatory cytokine, the producers of which in the human body are natural killer cells, CD4 Th1 cells and CD8 cytotoxic suppressor cells. The receptors for interferon gamma have macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Interferon gamma activates the effector functions of these cells, in particular their microsociety, cytotoxicity, production of cytokines, superoxide radicals and nitroxide, thereby causing the death of intracellular parasites. Interferon gamma inhibits the b-cell response, IL-4, inhibits the production of IgE and expression of CD23 antigen. Is an inductor of apoptosis of differentiated b-cells that give rise to autoreactive clones. Cancels the suppressive effect of IL-4 on IL-2-dependent proliferation and generation lymphokin-activated killer cells. Activates the production of acute phase proteins of inflammation, increases the expression of genes C2 and C4 components of the complement system.

Unlike other interferon, increases the expression of antigens of major histocompatibility complex (HCGS) as the 1st and 2nd classes on different cells, and induces the expression of these molecules, even on cells that do not Express them constitutively. This increases the efficiency of presentation of antigens and their recognition by T-lymphocytes.

Interferon gamma inhibits the replication of viral DNA and RNA, synthesis of viral proteins and Assembly of Mature viral particles. Interferon-gamma exerts cytotoxic effects on virus-infected cells.

Interferon gamma inhibits the synthesis of &beta-TGF, responsible for the development of fibrosis of the lungs and liver.

Lyophilisate for preparation of solution for intramuscular and subcutaneous injection: local soreness at the site of the p/to the introduction in the form of weak pain bursting character (like perekreditovanija muscle), and flushing.

The use of doses in excess of 1 million ME may be accompanied by the development of influenza-like syndrome: headache, weakness, increased body temperature, pain in the joints. Mild symptoms do not require pharmacological correction. When expressed phenomena — relief with paracetamol.
