Lung virus titers.Female BALB/c mice were infected intranasally with 102 PFU of influenza viruses and lungs were harvested for virus titration at various times post-inoculation. Lungs were homogenized in 1 ml of PBS and virus titers determined by plaque assay (+ TPCK trypsin 1 µg/ml) on MDCK cells in duplicate (n = 3 mice per time point). * p<0.05 between 1918 and Thai/16 infected lungs and TX/91 and SP/83 infected lungs.
