Lethal H7N9 influenza virus challenge of mice. HLA-DR3 mice (10–12 mice/group) pre-immunized with H3N2 A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 (H3N2) at week 0 and vaccinated at weeks 8, 12 and 16 weeks with rH7 HA without adjuvant. At week 20, mice were intranasally infected with 10e+4 PFU of the A/Anhui/1/2013 H7N9) virus. Mice were monitored daily for weight loss (A and B) and viral lung titers in selected mice 4 d post challenge (C). Weight loss and lung viral titer was presented as mean± standard deviation (B and C). The weight loss data from a single survived mouse was marked as dotted line (B; preimmune and naïve groups). *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001, ****p < .0001.
