Viral challenge of IPS-1−/− mice induces a mild Th2 phenotype. (a) Study design, 1 week old neonatal WT or IPS-1−/− mice were infected with 2 pfu in early life or vehicle diluent and were reinfected with 100 pfu or vehicle diluent 6 weeks post primary infection. Mice were euthanised at 7 days post reinfection. (b) Eosinophil and lymphocyte numbers in BALF. (c) IL-5 protein expression in BALF. (d) IL-13 protein expression in BALF. (e) Left panel: representative micrograph (40x magnification) of HMGB1 immunostaining. Right panel: Cytoplasmic AEC expression of HMGB1. (f) HMGB1 protein expression in BALF. (g) IL-33 protein expression in BALF. Vehicle control mice are denoted as Veh/Veh. Experiments were performed twice with 5 to 7 mice per group. Data are mean and the standard error of the mean. *,**,***,****Denotes significance between WT and IPS-1−/− infected mice. #,##,###Denotes significance between infected and vehicle IPS-1−/− mice. †,††,†††Denotes significance between vehicle and infected WT mice. Detection limits are denoted by a red dotted line.
