DBA/2 mice treated with anti-Mac1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) failed to develop encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV)-induced diabetes and myocarditis. Virus concentrations and the number of viral RNA-positive cells in the pancreas and heart were significantly reduced in mice treated with anti-Mac1 MAb. Mac1-positive macrophages seem to be involved in EMCV-induced disease and to affect the replication of EMCV in target organs.
用抗Mac1单克隆抗体(MAb)处理的DBA/2小鼠未能发生脑心肌炎病毒(EMCV)诱导的糖尿病和心肌炎。在用抗Mac1 MAb处理的小鼠中,胰腺和心脏中的病毒浓度以及病毒RNA阳性细胞数量显著降低。Mac1阳性巨噬细胞似乎参与了EMCV诱导的疾病,并影响EMCV在靶器官中的复制。
