immune system
• 7 days post infection, mutant lungs display inflammatory infiltrate consisting of lymphocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils
|
• while at inoculations of >7 x103 pfu, mutant and control mice show 100% mortality, mutants show greater susceptibility to infection by influenza at lower titers than control mice
• in infected primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts, rates of virus replication are similar to wild-type, while the titer continues to increase
• 7 days post-infection, lungs of mutants show increased immunopathology compared to wild-type

growth/size/body
weight loss
(
J:119791
)
• after inoculation with 700 pfu, both mutants and controls show a drop of >10% body weight, but mutants continue to lose weight to below 80% of their original body mass before mortality, whereas control mice do not

respiratory system
• 7 days post infection, mutant lungs display inflammatory infiltrate consisting of lymphocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils
|
cellular
• in mutant fibroblasts, about 30% of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) are poorly induced by IFNgamma compared to induction in wild-type fibroblasts
