Abstract | The purpose of the study was to determine the relative roles of viral-induced interferon (IFN) and viral infection of the liver in mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV)-induced depression of cytochrome P-450 (cyt P-450) levels and enhancement of pentobarbital-induced sleeping time (PEN-ST). This was done by establishing the temporal relationship among the IFN response, viral infection of the liver, suppression of cyt P-450 levels, and enhancement of PEN-ST, by determining the effect of anti-IFN antibody treatment on all of these responses, and by manipulating factors known to influence viral pathogenesis and host response to virus such as animal age, virulence of the virus, and dose of virus.
