While adaptive immunity plays an important role in preventing WNV spread to the central nervous system (CNS), little is known about how alpha/beta interferon (IFN-α/β) protects against peripheral and CNS infection. In this study, we examine the virulence and tropism of WNV in IFN-α/β receptor-deficient (IFN- α/βR <jats:sup>−/−</jats:sup> ) mice and primary neuronal cultures. IFN-α/βR <jats:sup>−/−</jats:sup> mice were acutely susceptible to WNV infection through subcutaneous inoculation, with 100% mortality and a mean time to death (MTD) of 4.6 ± 0.7 and 3.8± 0.5 days after infection with 10 <jats:sup>0</jats:sup> and 10 <jats:sup>2</jats:sup> PFU, respectively. In contrast, congenic wild-type 129Sv/Ev mice infected with 10 <jats:sup>2</jats:sup> PFU showed 62% mortality and a MTD of 11.9 ± 1.9 days. IFN-α/βR <jats:sup>−/−</jats:sup> mice developed high viral loads by day 3 after infection in nearly all tissues assayed, including many that were not infected in wild-type mice. IFN-α/βR <jats:sup>−/−</jats:sup> mice also demonstrated altered cellular tropism, with increased infection in macrophages, B cells, and T cells in the spleen. Additionally, treatment of primary wild-type neurons in vitro with IFN-β either before or after infection increased neuronal survival independent of its effect on WNV replication. Collectively, our data suggest that IFN-α/β controls WNV infection by restricting tropism and viral burden and by preventing death of infected neurons. </jats:p> Alpha/Beta Interferon Protects against Lethal West Nile Virus Infection by Restricting Cellular Tropism and Enhancing Neuronal Survival Journal of Virology
