FIG. 3.

CD154⁺ CD8⁺ T-cell-reconstituted B6 nude mice remain MAIDS insusceptible after LP-BM5 infection. B6 nude mice were reconstituted with 10⁷ purified CD154⁺ CD8⁺ T cells and 2 days later were infected with LP-BM5 virus. At 8 weeks postinfection, all recipient mice were sacrificed and the indicated disease parameters indicative of MAIDS were determined. Each bar represents a mean value ± standard deviation. This is representative of one other experiment. P values shown were derived by the Student t test (NS [not significant], P > 0.05).
