Effects of 2’FdC administered i.p. on survival and weight change of female BALB/c mice infected with a lethal dose of avian influenza A/Vietnam/1203/2004 H5N1 virus.
A. Survival of infected BALB/c mice treated with PSS (●), 2’FdC at 30 (■), 3.0 (▲), 0.3 (▼) mg/kg/day, or ribavirin at 75 mg/kg/day (♦) (bid × 8), beginning −24 h relative to virus exposure. * P<0.05, 2’-FdC (30 mg/kg) or ribavirin versus PSS.
