Suppressive effects of BXM on proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine production in the lungs of mice infected with a low dose of the A(H7N9) virus. Mice were intranasally infected with 4.0 × 105 TCID50/mouse (10.4 MLD50) of A/Anhui/1/2013 (H7N9) virus, and treatment was started immediately after virus inoculation (n = 5/group). The proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, IL-6, MCP-1, MIP-1α and IFN-γ, in the lungs at 1, 3 and 5 dpi were quantified. Dunnett’s multiple-comparison method was employed for the comparison (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared to vehicle).
