However, treatment of CARV-, GMAV-or TCMV-infected mice with IFN-␣A did not result in an increase in survival or prolongation of the mean time to death and did not prevent virus replication in the brain of animals (Table 2 and Fig. 3, respectively) . Treatment with IFN-␣A initiated 24 h after mice infection by GROV was unable to inhibit either the death of animals or the viral replication in the brain (Table 3 and Fig. 5 , respectively). In vitro and in vivo results showed that IFN-␣ was able to prevent viral replication in a limited manner, exerting antiviral effect only when administrated early and in high doses, suggesting that OROV, CARV, GMAV, GROV and TCMV present some escape mechanism from antiviral actions of the IFN-␣. ./cache/cord-310469-v4p01rze.txt ./txt/cord-310469-v4p01rze.txt
