The role played by resident microglia and by the infiltration of peripheral monocytes/macrophages in the innate immune response during herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) encephalitis was evaluated in mice deficient for the CCR2 and CX3CR1 receptors. CCR2(-/-), CX3CR1(-/-) and C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) male mice were infected intranasally with 7x10(5) p.f.u. of an HSV-1 clinical strain and monitored for signs of encephalitis and survival. In addition, brain viral DNA load and cytokine levels were evaluated by RT-PCR and magnetic bead-based immunoassay, respectively. The cellular response was assessed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting of blood and brain leukocytes. Infected CX3CR1(-/-) mice had a significantly lower mean life expectancy than WT mice (P
