Depletion of alveolar macrophages ameliorates virus-induced disease following a pulmonary coronavirus infection.
Coronaviruses cause respiratory disease in humans that can range from mild to severe. However, the pathogenesis of pulmonary coronavirus infections is poorly understood. Mouse hepatitis virus type 1 (MHV-1) is a group 2 coronavirus capable of causing severe morbidity and mortality in highly suscepti...
