Fig. 6From: Induction of virus-specific effector immune cell response limits virus replication and severe disease in mice infected with non-lethal West Nile virus Eg101 strainLeukocyte accumulation in the spleens of WNV NY99 and WNV Eg101 infected mice. Spleens were harvested from mock, WNV NY99, and WNV Eg101 infected mice after extensive perfusion at day 8 after inoculation. Splenocytes were isolated and analyzed by flow cytometry. a Total number of leukocytes (CD45+), T cells (CD45+ CD3+), CD4+ T cells (CD45+ CD3+ CD4+), CD8+ T cells (CD45+ CD3+ CD8+), NK cells (CD45+ CD3− NK1.1+), and monocytes/macrophages (CD45+ CD11b+ Ly6c+) per spleen. Data represents the mean ± SEM, representing two independent experiments (n = 6 mice per group). *p < 0.05. b Representative flow cytometry profiles demonstrating percentages of NK cells, and monocytes/macrophages in the spleen at day 8 after inoculation.
