The role of caspase-1 and caspase-11 in response to viral infection in mice.

Mouse Virus Phenotype compared to wild-type mice
Casp1−/−Casp11−/− Encephalomyocarditis virus No difference in survival (214).
Influenza A virus Reduced survival (143, 144, 147), decreased IL-1β, IL-18, TNF, IL-6, KC, MIP-2 in the BALF, decreased neutrophils and monocytic dendritic cells in the BALF, diminished respiratory function (143), decreased IFN-γ producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, reduced nasal IgA, increased pulmonary viral titer (147). No difference in survival and body weight change in Mx1 sufficient host (148).
Murine gamma-herpesvirus 68 (MHV68) No difference in viral burden in the lungs (215).
Vesicular stomatitis virus No difference in survival (214).
West Nile virus Reduced survival (142).
