Role of Host Cytokine Responses in the Pathogenesis of Avian H5N1 Influenza Viruses in Mice
20 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza viruses are now widespread in poultry in Asia and have recently spread to some African and European countries. Interspecies transmission of these viruses to humans poses a major threat to public health. To better understand the basis of pathogenesis of H5N1 viruses, we have investigated the role of proinflammatory cytokines in transgenic mice deficient in interleukin-6...
