In the present study, we used this DI RNA vector system to express the viral HE gene in the CNS of mice in the presence of an HE-deficient helper virus. To determine the basis for the reduction in mortality following A59-DE-HE infection compared to other viruses ( Fig. 2) , virus titers in the brains of mice infected with A59-DE-HE were initially compared to mice infected with the parental A59 or A59-DE-CAT at 6 days p.i. Based on the survival of most mice infected with A59-DE-HE, reduced viral replication in the CNS was anticipated. IL-6 mRNA was also increased in the CNS of mice infected with A59-DE-HE virus (Fig. 5B) ; however, no differences were detected in the liver between the two groups. ./cache/cord-267532-5rnqd9mb.txt ./txt/cord-267532-5rnqd9mb.txt
