A genetic analysis of macrophage activation and specific antibodies in relation to the resistance of heterogeneous mouse populations to MHV3 infection 1994 .txt text/plain 2352 113 42 The data indicate, among the mechanisms of resistance against the virus infection, a role of IFN gamma macrophage-activation and of antibodies against MHV3 which may delay the mean survival time in susceptible animals. The virus replication in target cells, the antiviral state induced by interferon (IFN) and the expression of a monokine with procoagulant activity (PCA) have been implicated in the resistance/susceptibility of the genetic homogeneous or heterogeneous mouse populations to the MHV3 infection [t, 2, 4, 7, 17, 18, 23, 243 . For the study of the individual correlation between in vivo resistance and in vitro inhibition of virus replication by IFN gamma, peritoneal macrophages from Hm, Lm and F 2 segregants were collected without sacrificing the animals, which were infected with MHV3 a week later. This brings further support to our previous suggestion that one of the main mechanisms involved in the resistance of mice to the MHV3 infection is based on the ability of their macrophages to restrict the virus replication upon IFN gamma activation [10 13, 153 . ./cache/cord-004685-qote5nx2.txt ./txt/cord-004685-qote5nx2.txt
