Identification of a Locus in Mice that Regulates the Collateral Damage and Lethality of Virus Infection

Summary: Arenaviruses can cause severe hemorrhagic disease in humans, which can progress to organ failure and death. The underlying mechanisms causing lethality and person-to-person variation in outcome remain incompletely explained. Herein, we characterize a mouse model that recapitulates many feat...
