DBA/2 mice treated with anti-Mac1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) failed to develop encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV)-induced diabetes and myocarditis. Virus concentrations and the number of viral RNA-positive cells in the pancreas and heart were significantly reduced in mice treated with anti-Mac1 MAb. Mac1-positive macrophages seem to be involved in EMCV-induced disease and to affect the replication of EMCV in target organs.
