Type I interferon receptor knockout mice as models for infection of highly pathogenic viruses with outbreak potential

Due to their inability to generate a complete immune response, mice knockout for type I interferon (IFN) receptors (Ifnar–/–) are more susceptible to viral infections, and are thus commonly used for pathogenesis studies. This mouse model has been used to study many diseases caused by highly pathogen...
