To further characterize the role of IFN-λ in RABV infection in the mouse model, recombinant RABVs (rRABVs) expressing murine IFN-λ2 or IFN-λ3, designated as rB2c-IFNλ2 and rB2c-IFNλ3 respectively, were constructed as shown in Figure 2A , and rescued as described previously [27] . To further investigate whether IFN-λ restricts RABV infection in vivo, groups of five-week-old female BALB/c mice were mock-infected with DMEM or inoculated with B2c, rB2c-IFNλ2, or rB2c-IFNλ3 by different routes. Expression of neuronal CXCL10 induced by rabies virus infection initiates infiltration of inflammatory cells, production of chemokines and cytokines, and enhancement of blood-brain barrier permeability ./cache/cord-011436-ud35mf5l.txt ./txt/cord-011436-ud35mf5l.txt
