Corresponding to the viral loads, histopathological examination showed that a large number of neurons displayed JEV antigens and severe cuffing was observed in the brain cortex of JaTH160-infected mice at 9 day pi ( Figure 1F ). Following inoculation with JaOArS982 virus, there were no significant differences of infectious viral loads in the brain cortex between WT, IL-10 KO and TNF-α KO at 5, 9 and 11 days pi ( Figure 5B ). TNF-α KO mice exhibited significantly increased levels of IFN-γ and IL-5 in the brains compared with WT and/or IL-10 KO mice at 5 and 7 days pi following JaTH160 inoculation ( Figure 7C and D) . ./cache/cord-001039-qocuprwb.txt ./txt/cord-001039-qocuprwb.txt
