Figure 7. House dust mite exposure of sensitized animals after influenza infection worsens outcomes.

Figure 7

Mice were exposed to 100 μg of HDM or 100 μl of saline twice a week apart. Mice were then infected IT with 400 PFU of influenza virus 48hrs after the second exposure to HDM or saline. Four days after influenza virus infection mice were challenged with 100 μg of HDM or 100 μl of saline. Body weight was monitored daily. Mice were euthanized if body weight loss ≥ 30% of the initial body weight. (A) schematic of experiment (B) Body weight loss (C) data from (B) plotted as a survival graph. N=5 mice for the HDM group and N=4 for the saline group.
