Abstract
At present, little is known about the pathogenesis of acute virus-induced shock and pulmonary failure. A chief impediment in understanding the underlying disease mechanisms and developing treatment strategies has been the lack of a suitable animal model. This study describes a mouse model of virus-induced systemic shock and respiratory distress, and shows that blockade of the lymphotoxin beta receptor pathway reverses the disease.Entities:
