FIG. 2.

Deletion of A47L does not affect VACV pathogenesis in vivo. Groups of 6 BALB/c mice (A and C) or 5 C57BL/6 mice (B) were infected with VACV-delA47-1, VACV-delA47-2, or a matched wild-type (WT) strain using an i.n. (A and B) or i.d. (C) model. (A and B) Mice were weighed daily, and averages and SEMs of percentages of weight loss are shown. †, numbers of mice that were euthanized for humane reasons on the day (d) indicated. (C) Averages and SEMs of estimated lesion diameters on infected ears are shown.
