MuHV-4 colonization of i.p.-inoculated BAFF-R−/− mice does not recover with time. (a) We infected C57BL/6J (WT) or BAFF-R−/− mice i.p. with MuHV-4 (105 PFU) and determined the titers of recoverable virus in peritoneal washes and spleens by infectious center assay 7, 13, 20, and 27 days later. Circles show individual mice; crosses show means. BAFF-R−/− titers were significantly lower at all time points (P < 0.05). (b) The same samples as for panel a were assayed for viral genome load (M2) relative to cellular genome load (APRT) by Q-PCR. Normalized viral genome loads were significantly lower in BAFF-R−/− mice at all time points (P < 0.03).
