RV1A infection in a culture model of epithelial damage. (A) Schematic diagram showing models of epithelial injury used in the study (details in text). (B) Replication of RV1A RNA analyzed with real-time PCR and expressed as plaque-forming unit equivalents in lysates extracted from RV-infected control or injured epithelia. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 4 independent experiments). *P < 0.05.
