Abstract

Infection of human mononuclear cells with Marburg virus results in production of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-1. These cytokines induce expression of adhesion receptors VCAM and ICAM by human endothelial cells. Mitogen-induced proliferation of human mononuclears is not suppressed 1 h after infection of these cells with Marburg virus in a dose of 0.01 PFU/cell. The capacity of cells to proliferate in response to mitogens significantly decreased 4 h after infection.
