Abstract
Results showed that MT strongly enhanced the hypergammaglobulinemia induced by the virus, as well as anti-MHV Ab and uric acid release. Moreover, infected mice treated with MT did express anti-FAH autoAb and high levels of serum HMGB1. Survival of MHV-infected animals treated with MT was severely reduced compared with that of MHV-infected mice or controls only treated with MT. Furthermore, histological liver examination indicated that MT induced fibrosis in MHV-infected animals, whereas MT itself increased uric acid levels without shortening the animal life Thus, under our experimental conditions, results indicated an exacerbated response to MHV infection when IDO was blocked by MT.
