The values represent the median score for all animals within each group. Scores are as follows: 0, no influenza A virus nucleoprotein immunoreactivity; 1, focal to oligofocal influenza A virus nucleoprotein immunoreactivity; 2, multifocal influenza A virus nucleoprotein immunoreactivity; 3, coalescing to diffuse influenza A virus nucleoprotein immunoreactivity.
