Further experiments show that mice deficient of p47 (phox), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase subunit that controls acute ROS production, present with reductions in NLRP3 inflammasome activation and subsequent IL-1β secretion during viral infection, which appears to be responsible for acquiring resilience to viral FH. The hallmarks of MHV-3-induced FH in susceptible BALB/cJ and C57BL/6 mice include the appearance of liver sinusoidal thrombosis and hepatocellular necrosis, resulting from over expression of a virus-induced, monocyte/macrophage-specific procoagulant, fibrinogen-like protein-2 (FGL2). ./cache/cord-001769-2sdg5ll7.txt ./txt/cord-001769-2sdg5ll7.txt
