The results reported here demonstrate that a neutralizing antibody to PCA protects animals from fulminant hepatitis and death associated with MHV-3 infection, and supports the notion that PCA is a potent inflammatory mediator that plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of liver injury resulting from MHV-3 infection. In contrast, mice infected with MHV-3 but treated with antibody to PCA showed a marked reduction in liver disease in all groups (25, 50 , and 100/.r ( were a few small loci of inflammatory cells with no necrosis (Fig. 2 D) . No fibrin was seen in the livers of infected mice treated with 100/~g of mAb. Treatment with anti-PCA alone resulted in no detectable histological evidence of liver disease in nonirLf~ed animals. ./cache/cord-104226-bb4lyvhy.txt ./txt/cord-104226-bb4lyvhy.txt
