Figure 2From: Mice with different susceptibility to tick-borne encephalitis virus infection show selective neutralizing antibody response and inflammatory reaction in the central nervous system Viral loads in sera of BALB/c, CcS-11 and STS mice after s.c. inoculation of 10 3 pfu of TBEV. Virus titer was determined by plaque assay on PS cells (A). Virus titer in brains of BALB/c, CcS-11 and STS mice after s.c. inoculation was assayed on day 13, i.e., at the time of clinically manifest neuroinfection (B). Virus titer in brains of BALB/c, CcS-11 and STS mice after i.c. inoculation of 10 pfu of TBEV (C). The detection thresholds were 1.4 log10 pfu/ml for serum and 2.1 log10 pfu/g for brain suspensions.Back to article page
