In order to elucidate early host responses during the acute phase of SARS-CoV infection, we infected cynomolgus macaques with SARS-CoV and used macaque-specific microarrays and real-time (RT)-PCR techniques to study host gene expression profiles. In this study, we simultaneously examined virus replication and host-response gene expression profiles in macaque lungs during the acute phase of SARS to gain more insight into the early events that take place after SARS-CoV infection. In order to visualize the host response in the lungs of SARS-CoV-infected macaques, IFN-b production and translocation of phosphorylated STAT1 was studied using immunohistochemistry. The expression of IFN-b, which strongly correlated to the amount of virus present, continued throughout day 4 and was confirmed using immunohistochemistry; IFN-b-positive cells could be detected in the lungs of the SARS-CoV-infected macaques. ./cache/cord-260729-b12v3c8c.txt ./txt/cord-260729-b12v3c8c.txt
