IAV and RSV infections persist longer in CS-injured lungs. Viral load was compared in the lung tissues of FA- or CS-exposed mice on d 4 and 14 of infection with (a) IAV or (b) RSV using qRT-PCR. Total RNA was isolated from snap-frozen lung tissues and quantitative TaqMan RT-PCR analysis was performed to assess IAV M1 or RSV NS1 gene expression. Samples were normalized to mouse GAPDH RNA levels. N = 6 mice per group; data reported as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05
