Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids were harvested from PVM-infected wild-type mice treated with ribavirin (75 mg/kg/day) or control (pbs) and/or Met-RANTES or CCR1 −/− mice (untreated) on days postinoculation as indicated. All treatments were initiated on day 3 postinoculation. Data are presented as mean ± SE; *P < 0.05 compared to +pbs or +ribavirin alone controls, respectively; **P < 0.05 compared to +pbs +Met-RANTES (10 μg/day) or +ribavirin +Met-RANTES +(10 μg/day) groups, respectively, n = 3 mice per data point. Fold reduction (vs. no Met-RANTES at same time point) is shown in brackets.
