“…Even if it has been shown that ATA has in vitro inhibitory activity against multiple RNA or DNA viruses [ 35 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 51 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ], its antiviral efficacy in in vivo models has not been demonstrated [ 58 ], and there is a limited number of studies showing the effect of ATA in vivo [ 41 , 59 , 60 ]. Therefore, prior to conducting antiviral experiments in IFNAR (−/−) mice, a well-accepted mouse model to study BTV and AHSV infections [ 61 , 62 ], the effect of ATA in this animal model was assessed. For that, three groups of animals were treated daily for eight days with 600 µg of ATA diluted in PBS, DMSO diluted in PBS, or PBS.…”
