Groups of ≥10 pups per time point were injected with 1.5 × 106 FFU of the five strains of rotavirus. Organs were harvested on the day postinfection indicated and homogenized, and the amount of virus was determined by focus-forming assay in MA104 cells.
Values are expressed as mean FFU/mg tissue weight ± standard errors.
—, value below the limit of detection.
