immune system
• only CCL2 levels are elevated in corneas relative to wild-type or Cxcl9-null mice after HSV-1 infection
|
• higher incidence and greater severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
|
• experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis involves meningeal and brain parenchyma after 15 days
• monocytes lymphocytes and some granulocytes are involved
• increased levels of IFN-gamma, Il-2 and TGF-Beta1 in lymph nodes
|
• 7 days after infection (day 7 pi) with herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1), homozygotes have significantly higher HSV-1 titers in the cornea compared to Cxcl9-null or wild-type mice
• virus shedding in the tear film is elevated at day 7 pi but not at early points relative to Cxcl9 homozygotes or wild-type controls
• mice usually succumb to infection between days 7 and 9 pi
