RT and IAV alter inflammatory factors in the lung and in lung immune cells. Relative mRNA expression of inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, assayed in A) whole lung digests and in B) CD45+ immune cells isolated from lung digests, collected 1 week following exposure to RT + IAV (1 week post IAV alone, 2 weeks post RT alone). Bars represent mean ± SD. Symbols (circles) represent each mouse. n=4 mice per condition. Significantly different comparisons are vs. control condition or as indicated by brackets. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001.
