The role of Fas- and TNF-receptor 1 (TNF-R1)-mediated apoptosis in the clearance of virally infected cells and in the regulation of the immune response was analyzed after murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection of C57BL/6 (B6)-+/+ mice, Fas-mutant B6-lpr/lpr mice, TNF-R1 knockout B6-tnfr0/0 mice, and double-deficient B6-tnfr0/0 lpr/lpr mice. There was approximately equivalent clearance of MCMV in B6-+/+, B6-tnfr0/0, and B6-lpr/lpr mice, and by day 28 no infectious virus could be detected in the liver, kidney, lung, or peritoneal exudate. However, delayed virus clearance was observed in B6-tnfr0/0 lpr/lpr mice. An acute inflammatory response occurred in the liver, lung, and kidney of all mice, which was most severe 7 d after MCMV infection, but resolved by day 28 in B6-+/+ and B6-tnfr0/0 mice, but not in B6-lpr/lpr or B6-tnfr0/0 lpr/lpr mice. These results indicate that apoptosis mediated by either Fas or TNF-R1 is sufficient for rapid clearance of the virus. However, apoptosis induced by Fas, but not TNF-R1, is required for the downmodulation of the immune response to the virus and prevention of a chronic inflammatory reaction.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
