FIG. 4.

(A) Disease scores at the inoculation site in the mouse flank after infection by wild-type, NS, FcγR⁺ mutant, NS-gE₄₀₆, FcγR⁻ mutants, NS-gE₃₃₉ and NS-gEnull, and rescued virus, rNS-gE₃₃₉. An inoculum of 5 × 10⁵ PFU was scratched onto the denuded flank of 10 BALB/c mice per group. The average (± SEM) cumulative disease scores from days 3 to 8 are shown at the inoculation site. (B) An inoculum of 5 × 10⁴ or 5 × 10³ PFU was scratched onto the denuded flank of each of five mice per group, and the mean (± SEM) cumulative disease scores from days 3 to 8 were calculated.
