Groups of BALB/c mice (n = 20, combined data from 2 experiments each having 10 animals/group) received the first treatment dose of 100 mg/kg of UV-4 or 20 mg/kg of oseltamivir phosphate at-1, 24, 48, 72, 96, or 120 h or vehicle control at-1h relative to infection with ~1 LD90 of INFV A/Texas/36/91 (H1N1) via IN instillation. Treatment began at the time point indicated relative to challenge with UV-4 dosing continued TID every 8 hours for a total of 7 or 10 days, while oseltamivir phosphate treatment continued BID for 5 days. Percent survival is presented along with statistical comparison using log rank tests of each treated group compared to the vehicle only control group.
