Molecular Target For Treatment Of West Nile Encephalitis Identified Through Studies In Mice

In animal studies, researchers have identified molecular interactions that govern the immune system's ability to defend the brain against West Nile virus, offering the possibility that drug therapies could be developed to improve success in treating West Nile and other viral forms of encephalitis. Critical mechanism enables blood-borne immune cells to sense West Nile virus and to neutralize and clear the infection in the brain.
