In the present study, we investigated whether MBL could display any in vitro or in vivo antiviral function toward pdmH1N1 and H9N2/G1 viruses, as well as whether it could modulate the inflammatory response upon infection by these two strains of influenza virus. As shown in Figures 4 and 5 , upon pdmH1N1 and H9N2/G1 virus infection, inflammatory response assayed by cytokines and chemokines production was triggered in both MBL WT and MBL KO mice. Consistent with our cytokine and chemokine data, the pulmonary histological analysis suggested that the MBL WT mice had a more severe inflammatory response upon pdmH1N1 and H9N2/G1 virus infection. ./cache/cord-000524-5y9kfyk9.txt ./txt/cord-000524-5y9kfyk9.txt
