Female mice implanted with estradiol pellets were protected from H5N1 infection. Non-pregnant female Balb/c mice implanted with estradiol or placebo pellets were infected with H5N1 as described above. (A) Serum estradiol levels (n = 9–17 mice/group/time point); (B) Body Weight (BW) (n = 17 mice/group) and (C) pulmonary viral load (n = 7 mice/group/time point). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Serum estradiol levels and BW were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. Pulmonary viral titers were analyzed by Mann–Whitney test after log transformation. ***p < 0.001. Data are representative of 2–3 independent experiments with similar results.
