CONCLUSIONS: Anti-HMGB1 mAb may provide a novel and effective pharmacological strategy for severe influenza virus infection in humans by reducing the inflammatory responses induced by HMGB1. Here we provide compelling data demonstrating that anti-HMGB1 mAb may provide a novel and effective pharmacological therapeutic strategy for severe influenza virus infection by reducing the inflammatory responses induced by HMGB1. Histologically, influenza virus inoculation increased neutrophil infiltration in the lung, although anti-HMGB1 mAb treatment attenuated this effect (Fig. 2c) . Reverse-transcription PCR in the lung homogenates showed that anti-HMGB1 mAb-treated mice had significantly attenuated RAGE and NF-κB (p65) expression on day 3 after virus inoculation compared with control mice (Fig. 3b) . ./cache/cord-320637-jn8dh4vk.txt ./txt/cord-320637-jn8dh4vk.txt
