FIG 9.

Virus titers in the lung and expression of antiviral mediators following eosinophil treatment. FI-RSV-immunized RSV-infected EotIL-5^−/− mice were intratracheally treated with eosinophils at day 3 postinfection. Control mice were treated with medium alone. The transfer of macrophages in the adoptive-transfer experiments was included as an additional control. Three days after eosinophil treatment, the mice were sacrificed and virus titers (A) and expression of antiviral mediators (B to D) in the lungs were determined. The data are shown as means and SEM; n = 3. *, P < 0.05. The data shown are representative of two separate experiments.
