Application

Poly(cytidylic-inosinic) acid potassium salt has been used:
  • in pretreatment to understand Con A-induced hepatitis in mice
  • in RNA extraction from hemolymph plasma for qPCR detection assay
  • to induce inflammatory changes in liver[1]
  • as a component of minimal essential medium for the stimulation of rainbow trout gonad line RTG-2 cells[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Poly(cytidylic-inosinic) acid, poly I:C mimics viral RNA to induce immune response. Administration of poly I:C promotes cytotoxic functionality of natural killer cells and macrophages. However, poly I:C may trigger generation of anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) and contribute to the pathogenesis of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).[1] Poly I:C may play a hepatoprotective role in Con A-induced T cell-dependent liver injury.
Poly(cytidylic-inosinic) Poly(C,I) is a random copolymer of inosine and cytidine bases which may be useful for comparative physicochemical analysis versus other random copolymers such as Poly(C,A), Poly(C,U) and Poly(C,G).

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  

  1. Will Poly(cytidylic-inosinic) acid potassium salt (Poly (C:I)), Product P1038, work to induce interferon production?

    1 answer

    1. P1038 is a single stranded RNA. For cell activation, synthetic double-stranded RNA is widely used as the ligand of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) in place of what is supposed to be the natural ligand (viral dsRNA). This would be Product No. P9582, a double stranded RNA homopolymer, i.e. Poly(I): Poly(C). This product is widely used by other satisfied customers for cell activation.
