Abstract
We investigated the effect of exogenous mouse alpha- + beta-interferon produced by mouse L cells on the growth of mouse hepatitis virus type 2 (MHV-2) in the liver, the development of liver cell necrosis, and survival in murine fulminant hepatitis induced by MHV-2. Murine fulminant hepatitis was induced in 4-week-old male ICR mice by intraperitoneal inoculation of MHV-2. Mouse interferon (10(3) IU/mouse/day) was intraperitoneally injected every day. Exogenous mouse interferon suppressed both the growth of MHV-2 in the liver tissue and development of liver cell necrosis, and prolonged the survival. It was also found that the earlier mouse interferon was administered, the greater was the prolongation of survival.Entities:
