Furthermore, we conducted an in vivo experiment using C57BL/6J mice pretreated with anti-interferon α receptor 1 (IFNAR1) immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody and infected with SFTSV (16), which exhibited a significant elevation in blood glucose levels at both 1 and 3 days post-infection (dpi) (Fig. 2J). Here, IFNAR1 is linked to infection.
