Effect of H3N2 (X-31) influenza A virus infection on BALF cellularity in wild type (WT) and Nox2^−/y mice.

Abstract

<p>Mice were treated with 1×10⁴ PFU of the low virulence H3N2 strain of influenza A virus and the number of (A) total cells, (B) macrophages and (C) neutrophils counted in the BALF 3 and 7 days post infection. Data are shown as mean ± SD for 6–8 mice per group. *<i>P</i>&lt;0.05 vs respective no virus group, #<i>P</i>&lt;0.05 vs D3 X-31-treated WT mice mice, ∧<i>P</i>&lt;0.05 vs D7 X-31-treated WT mice (ANOVA and Dunnett's <i>post hoc</i> test).</p
