Induction of expression of IL-12 and INF-γ mRNAs in the brain by MCMV infection. Cytokine mRNAs in the whole brain were detected by RT-PCR at 3, 7, and 11 dpi. As a control, the RT-PCR product of constitutively expressed HPRT was analyzed. Representative data of control and MCMV-infected brains at each time point are shown. C, control brain; V, MCMV-infected brain.
