Because advanced age is associated with higher mortality in human SARS patients and SARS-CoV replicates better in aged mice, 6 -10,29 we experimentally infected 6-month-old (adult) female BALB/c mice with F-musX-VeroE6 or the Frankfurt 1 isolate. With regard to the cytokine responses of the mice, the lung homogenates of adult mice on day 1 after inoculation had significantly higher levels of monocyterelated chemokines [ie, MCP-1, macrophage inflammatory protein 1 (MIP-1), and IFN-␥-inducible protein 10 (IP-10)] than those from young mice ( Figure 5 ). ./cache/cord-314333-hkyiy1gm.txt ./txt/cord-314333-hkyiy1gm.txt
