IFNAR1 and biliary atresia: We previously demonstrated that in Ifnar1-/-Ifngr1-/- or Stat1-/- suckling mice lacking intact type I and type II interferon (IFN) signaling, rhesus rotavirus (RRV) infection causes a lethal disease with clinical manifestations similar to biliary atresia, including acholic stools, oily fur, growth retardation, and excess mortality.
