BALB/c mice were treated as indicated and challenged with 5 × 102 TCID50 of PR/8. Two days later, animals were sacrificed and lungs were collected for virus titer.
Expressed as log10 TCID50/ml ± SEM.
One-way ANOVA statistical analysis on log-transformed data, followed with comparison with control (siGFP) by Dunnett's method.
