immune system

abnormal NK cell physiology ( J:79552 )

• there is 4-fold less NK cells in MCMV infected mice that are producing IFN-gamma than in controls

decreased circulating interferon-gamma level ( J:79552 )

• 1.5 days after MCMV infection, IFN-gamma levels in serum are about 40-fold lower than in controls

homeostasis/metabolism

decreased circulating interferon-gamma level ( J:79552 )

• 1.5 days after MCMV infection, IFN-gamma levels in serum are about 40-fold lower than in controls

hematopoietic system

abnormal NK cell physiology ( J:79552 )

• there is 4-fold less NK cells in MCMV infected mice that are producing IFN-gamma than in controls
