Mouse adenovirus type 1 causes a fatal hemorrhagic encephalomyelitis in adult C57BL/6 but not BALB/c mice

Abstract: Mouse adenovirus type 1 (MAV-1) produces a lethal disease in newborn or suckling mice characterized by infectious virus and viral lesions in multiple organs. Previous reports of MAV-1 infection of adult mice generally described serologic evidence of infection without morbidity or mortality. However, our current results demonstrate that MAV-1 causes a fatal illness in adult C57BL/6 (B6) mice (50% lethal dose, [LD 50 ], 10 3.0 PFU) but not in adult BALB/c mice at all of the doses tested (LD 50 , >10 5.0 PFU).

“…Dramatic mouse strain differences in susceptibility are seen in mouse hepatitis virus and Theiler's virus models [121,122]. Commonly employed mouse strains with very different immune responses, the BALB/c and C57BL/6 strains, respond very differently to disseminated viruses [123,124] and intranasal viruses [125]. In general, C57BL/6 mice are more resistant to viruses than BALB/c mice, but when they do succumb it is largely due to T cell-driven inflammation [124], not viral damage per se.…”

“…Disease is characterized by scruffiness, lethargy, stunted growth and often death within 10 days. Experimental infection of adult mice with MAdV-1 is most often subclinical and persistent but can cause fatal haemorrhagic encephalomyelitis with neurological symptoms, including tremors, seizures, ataxia and paralysis in susceptible C57BL/6 and DBA/2J mice [129]. BALB/c mice are relatively resistant to this condition.…”

“…Gross lesions in response to natural MAdV infections are not detectable. Occasional lesions observed after experimental infection with MAdV-1 include small surface haemorrhages in the brain and spinal cord of C57BL/6 and DBA/2J mice [129], duodenal haemorrhage in Foxn1 nu mice [130] and pale yellow livers in Prkdc scid mice [131].…”

“…Mouse adenovirus-type 1 (MAV-1) is a double-stranded DNA virus that causes a fatal hemorrhagic encephalopathy in C57B1/6 mice within 4-6 days (Guida et al, 1995), along with infection of cerebrovascular endothelial cells. Chemokine gene expression was investigated and prominent induction of IP-10 was observed in the spleen and CNS of susceptible mice, whereas MCP-1 and MIP-2, respectively, were found in the spleen and brain of resistant mice (Charles et al, 1999).…”
