The application discloses a method for constructing a mouse severe pneumonia
animal model infected by human respiratory syncytial
virus and application, and relates to the technical field of
viral pneumonia animal models. The method comprises the following steps: inoculating human respiratory syncytial
virus on humanized IGF1R transgenic BALB / c mice, causing intra-
pulmonary infection of bronchioles and / or
lung tissues of the humanized IGF1R transgenic BALB / c mice, and obtaining the mouse severe pneumonia
animal model infected by human respiratory syncytial
virus. The method makes the mice more susceptible to human respiratory syncytial virus, and solves the problems that a conventional BALB / c mouse model cannot reproduce most of the
human disease courses and generate high-
titer virus proliferation, and cannot cause severe clinical symptoms due to semi-containment infection of inbred mice to human respiratory syncytial virus.
