FIGURE 6.
Altered AQP levels were identified in various organs post-MHV-1 inoculation. While increased AQPs 1 and 4 have been identified in various organs, AQP1 levels were decreased in lungs post-MHV-1. Further, treatment of MHV-1 inoculated mice with SPK (5 mg/kg) reversed these changes. A widespread increase in AQPs 5 and 8 was observed in mice post-MHV-1 inoculation, and treatment of MHV-1 inoculated mice with SPK (5 mg/kg) reversed these changes. Scale bar = 25 μm. Quantitation of AQPs 1, 4, 5, and 8 immunofluorescence images. ANOVA, n = 5 (Control), 16 (MHV-1) and 7 (MHV-1 + SPK). *p < 0.05 versus control; † p < 0.05 verses MHV-1 infected mice. Error bars represent mean ± SEM.
