Fig. 4From: Type-1 angiotensin receptor signaling in central nervous system myeloid cells is pathogenic during fatal alphavirus encephalitis in miceTelmisartan has no effect on the replication or clearance of NSV from the brains (a) or spinal cords (b) of NSV-infected animals. Mice were inoculated with NSV and treated with telmisartan (100 mg/kg/day) or a vehicle control. Replicate mice were sacrificed at predetermined intervals, and viral titers were measured in each tissue sample by plaque titration assay. Mean ± SEM of the log10 of tissue plaque-forming units (pfu) per gram of tissue are shown. Two-way ANOVA confirmed that the virus replication curves from vehicle- and telmisartan-treated mice are not different from each other (p = 0.74 for brain, p = 0.31 for spinal cord)Back to article page
