• following intranasal infection with an H3N2 influenza A virus (A/HK/01/68; 2x103 FFU), male homozygotes show no significant differences in body weight loss or survival rate relative to similarly infected C57BL/6J males
|
• following intranasal infection with a low-virulent H1N1 influenza A virus (PR8M; 2105 FFU), female homozygotes show a significantly greater body weight loss at days 5 and 6 p.i. than wild-type controls
• however, viral loads, histopathology, and immune cell composition in bronchoalveolar lavage of PR8M-infected lungs are not significantly altered at days 3 and 5 p.i. relative to wild-type controls
|
• following intranasal infection with 2105 FFU PR8M, female homozygotes show a slight increase in lethality (20%) between days 6 and 7 p.i., whereas all PR8M-infected wild-type mice survive to 14 p.i.

mortality/aging
• following intranasal infection with 2105 FFU PR8M, female homozygotes show a slight increase in lethality (20%) between days 6 and 7 p.i., whereas all PR8M-infected wild-type mice survive to 14 p.i.
