title: Inhibition of Newcastle disease virus-induced fever in rabbits by cycloheximide.
abstract: Pretreatment with cycloheximide prevents virus-induced fever in rabbits. Compared to the febrile control animals, CH-pretreated afebrile animals exhibit similar concentrations of endogenous pyrogen in the blood and of prostaglandins of the E-group and adenosine 3', 5'-cycle monophosphate in the cerebrospinal fluid. The fever response seems to involve one or several additional so far unknown mediators which are sensitive to cycloheximide.
