Lung virus titers were significantly (>100-fold) lower than in the placebo group, and the other infection parameters in mDEF201 treated mice were nearly at baseline. Ad5-vectored mouse interferon (mDEF201) resulted in sustained IFN levels [16] , that completely protected mice from a lethal Western equine encephalitis virus infection when given intramuscularly at 10 7 plaque forming units (PFU)/ mouse up to 7 days prior to virus challenge [16] . The extent of inhibition of lung Intranasal treatments with mDEF201 (10 7 PFU/mouse) were given one time only on the indicated day prior to virus exposure. ./cache/cord-333853-p2kbjwpy.txt ./txt/cord-333853-p2kbjwpy.txt
