Decoding IFN-mediated immunity and cell dynamics in viral encephalitis: Insights from coxsackievirus B3 infection

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: analysis captured IFN responses and immune cell dynamics across both acute and chronic inflammation phases. During the acute stage, IFN responses intensified in a dose-dependent manner, with upregulated IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), increased ISGylation, and microglial activation. Chemokine release coincided with the infiltration of monocytes and T cells in the injured brain. In the chronic phase, viral RNA was undetectable, yet flow cytometry showed persistent T cell presence and low-level microglial activation, indicating ongoing inflammation. This model provides a valuable platform for investigating IFN responses and immune cell interactions in central nervous system (CNS) viral infections and neuroinflammatory conditions.
