Abstract

Human norovirus is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, resulting in estimated mortality of ~210,000 each year, of whom most are children under the age of five. However, norovirus can infect people of all age groups. There is a risk of prolonged infection in children, the elderly and patients who are immunocompromised. To study the inhibition of persistent norovirus replication by small molecule antivirals in vivo, we used a murine norovirus CR6 strain (MNV.CR6). We demonstrated earlier that efficient small molecules can reduce viral shedding in the stool of infected mice. Here we present how to generate the MNV.CR6 virus stock, infect type I and II interferon receptor knockout AG129 mice via oral gavage, administer antivirals to mice, and quantify viral genome copies in the stool of these mice.

Background

Human noroviruses are an important cause of gastroenteritis. Although most norovirus infections are acute and self-limiting, the infection can become chronic in patients with an immunodeficient status, particularly in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, patients undergoing chemotherapy and patients with AIDS (Westhoff et al., 2009; Green, 2014; Angarone et al., 2016). Prolonged norovirus infection is also observed in young children and the elderly resulting in an increased duration of illness, increased defecations and virus shedding for up to 47 days (Murata et al., 2007; Aoki et al., 2010). Reduction of immunosuppressive therapy is, when feasible, the strategy of choice to control the infection in transplant recipients. Specific antiviral therapies to treat (chronic) norovirus gastroenteritis are not available. To assess the inhibitory effect of small molecules on persistent norovirus infections, we used a mouse-adapted persistent murine norovirus (MNV.CR6) in type I and II interferon receptor knockout AG129 mice (Strong et al., 2012). MNV is a genogroup V norovirus that is widely used as a surrogate for human noroviruses, which comprises around 30 strains (Karst et al., 2003; Wobus et al., 2004). The MNV.CR6 is avirulent in AG129 and STAT1^-/- mice, but replicates for weeks to months in wild type mice and to higher titers in innate immune-deficient mice (Thackray et al., 2007). The MNV.CR6 strain has a tropism for the proximal colon and the cecum, where it persists and replicates more efficiently than the MNV.CW3 strain, which causes acute infection (Arias et al., 2012; Nice et al., 2013).
