Figure 3. Coinfection with PR8 and EF3030 results in a substantial reduction in the number of IFN-producing NP-specific CD8+ T cells in the lungs and a modest reduction in the mediastinal lymph node.
Mice singly infected with influenza virus or coinfected were euthanized on days 8 and 11 post influenza virus infection. Perfused lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes were harvested. Isolated cells were stimulated ex vivo with influenza NP147-155 peptide. Data shown are pre-gated on CD8+LFA-1hi cells. A. Representative flow plots. B. Averaged data from 17–18 (d8) or 8–11 (d11) individually analyzed animals assessed over three independent experiments. A two-tailed student’s t test was used to determine significance. * p<0.05, **** p<0.0001
