Figure 4. Virus production in alveolar macrophages and monocyte-derived macrophages after H3N2, H5N1 or H1N1 virus infection.
Virus production of alveolar macrophages (AM) (a), macrophages cultured in the presence of human serum (MM) (b), and macrophages cultured in the presence of GM-CSF (GM-MM) (c), after infection with seasonal H3N2 virus, HPAIV H5N1 or pandemic H1N1 virus. Geometric mean titers were calculated from independent experiments; error bars indicate standard deviation. * indicates a statistical (p<0.05) difference. ** indicates a statistical (p<0.01) difference.
