Figure 5. Infection with LPAI virus results in enhanced activation of lung NK cells.

Figure 5

To study possible differences in NK-cell activation after infection with A/chicken/United Arab Emirates/99 H9N2 LPAI virus, cell surface expression of CD107 was analysed by flow cytometry. Representative FACS plots showing CD107 expression within lung CD3- cells from uninfected controls, and infected animals at 1, 3 and 5 dpi (a). Mean CD107 expression ± SEM is shown for lung (b) and PBMC (c) (n = 5 except for 2 dpi and 3 dpi n = 8). Significant differences compared to the uninfected controls (birds from 0 dpi together with the uninfected birds from 1–6 dpi) were analysed using Mann-Whitney tests and p < 0.05 is indicated by an asterisk.
