Morbidity and mortality after influenza A virus infection in sham and 15 Gy whole-lung irradiated C57BL/6J mice. At 10 weeks post-irradiation, sham and 15 Gy whole-lung irradiated mice were infected with 120 HAU influenza A virus and monitored for 42 days. Panel A: Body weight changes over time. Changes in body weight are expressed as a percentage of body weight at the time of infection. (Two-way ANOVA with Fisher’s post-test, *P < 0.05 versus sham-infected, n = 30 for virus-infected groups, n = 7 for mock-infected groups.) Panel B: Kaplan-Meier survival curves presenting mean survival of each group over time. Curves were analyzed using the log rank test. A significant difference in mortality was observed between the sham-infected and irradiated-infected group (P = 0.0006).
