Infection with GB virus C in patients with chronic liver disease.

abstract：:To investigate whether the administration of IL-12 is effective against influenza virus infection, mice were intranasally administered IL-12 for three consecutive days and then infected with a non-lethal dose of the influenza virus. The IL-12-treated mice were more resistant to the virus than control mice with respect...
