RSV immunohistochemical stain scoring. Seven slides with two sections each of lung lobe (at least 1 cm × 1 cm) were scored for staining of RSV antigen. Slides were assessed for number of cells per 10X field with RSV antigen staining which was then given a score according to the following scale: 0 = 0, 1 = 1–10, 2 = 11–39, 3 = 40–99, 4 =>100; slides were also assessed for the number of 10X fields with RSV antigen out of 20 fields for each slide. Both groups inoculated with HEp-2-grown RSV had higher average slide scores than control or either group inoculated with Vero-grown RSV. Nebulized HEp-2-grown RSV had significantly more fields with RSV antigen than control or Vero-grown RSV groups, p < 0.05.
