Antiviral response gene expression following infection with Wuhan strain. Heat map representation of cytokines and inflammatory-related genes (A) and Type I IFN production and signalization-related genes (B). Results are expressed as fold (log₂) relative to mock-infected mice (mean, n = 4/group). For gene expression, statistical analyses were performed by comparing 2^(−ΔCt) values for each gene in the control group and infected groups with a nonparametric t-test. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.
