BALB/c mice were infected with r19F (1×106 TCID50) on day 0 and administered 300 μg of anti-G (131-2G) or anti-F (143-6C) protein mAbs on day 3 pi (n=5 mice/group). The lungs were harvested on the indicated days in the Table 3B. The lung homogenates were tested by luminex multiplex assay. Data are means ± SEM.
(p≤=0.05, ANOVA)
(p≤0.001, ANOVA) indicates significant changes in cytokine concentrations for untreated compared to mice receiving the indicated treatments. Results are representative of two independent experiments.
