Virus replication and proinflammatory cytokines in sublethal PVM infection. (a) Virus detected in lung tissue by qPCR on days post-inoculation as indicated; * p < 0.05 sublethal vs. lethal PVM as in Figure 1a, 2-way ANOVA with Sidak’s post hoc test; † virus below detectable limits in n = 3 of 5 mice; ǂ virus below detectable limits in all 5 mice. (b) Cytokine profiling of BAL fluid; n = 5 mice per group. Data shown are fold increase over results from BAL fluid samples from uninfected controls.
