H3N2 IAV infection in APPswe/PSEN1dE9 mouse model. (A) 2 months old wild-type (WT) and APP/PS1 mice were infected intranasally with 10 FFU non-neurotropic H3N2 IAV subtype. (B) A representative experiment of body weight loss depicted as a percentage of the starting weight of mice during the acute phase of IAV infection is shown (N = 15 in each group); The body weight loss curve as well as (C) the heat map of body weight loss during 14 days in each group clearly indicated that APP/PS1 mice lost more weight and recover slower compared to WT infected mice. (D) The survival rate of control and infected mice is presented. 100% of control (non-infected WT and APP/PS1 mice) survived while only 88% of WT mice and 76% of APP/PS1 survived from H3N2 IAV infection (N = 25 in each group).
