Abstract

Topical polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid complex was used prophylactically and therapeutically in experimental vaccinia keratitis of rabbits. It was found that this interferon inducer protects against vaccinia infection when administered from three days up to eight hours before infection. Its therapeutic efficacy diminished with time and was absent 24 hours after infection.
