Abstract
This thesis investigates the influence of PrPC on the immune response against MCMV in lung tissue. Histological investigations support the preliminary claim that the absence of PrPC influences viral clearance in multiple tissues such as in the liver leading to less recorded tissue insult. Further, viral titration of lung tissue demonstrated no significant difference between wild type mice and those lacking PrPC . Searching for an explanation for this finding, we analyzed differences in cytokine levels in the brain and lungs. We found IL-17A levels to behave differently in the lungs compared to brain tissue. Only in the lungs did we record a significant increase of IL-17A levels in PrPC KO mice following infection while in brain tissue a comparable finding was absent. Concisely, our findings indicate the MCMV inflicted immune response to be differently affected by the absence of PrPC in comparison to other tissues and the expression of IL-17A to be unrelated to PrPC .
