Fig. 5From: Development of a model of Saint Louis encephalitis infection and disease in miceNeutrophils, T lymphocytes, and NK cells are recruited to the brain of SLEV-infected mice. Adult female C57BL/6 mice were inoculated i.c. with 1 LD100 of SLEV and euthanized at days 5 and 7 p.i. for collection of brains and extraction of leukocytes. a Representative image of Diff-Quik-stained leukocytes recovered from the brains of SLEV-infected mice. b Average number of leukocytes recovered from mock and SLEV-infected mice. c–h Recovered leukocytes were stained with antibodies against leukocyte surface markers and analyzed at a flow cytometer. Results are expressed as mean plus standard error of the mean (SEM) and are representative of one experiment (N = 3–6). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 compared to the respective Mock-infected group.
