Figure 6From: Influenza H5N1 virus infection of polarized human alveolar epithelial cells and lung microvascular endothelial cells Virus titer detected in the supernatant of influenza virus infected HLMVE cells. Virus titer of the (A) A/HK/54/98 (H1N1) and (B) A/HK/483/97 (H5N1) was determined after apical infection and basolateral infection of the HLMVE cells at 1 h and 8 h post infection. Aa = apical release after apical infection, Ab = basolateral release after apical infection, Ba = apical release after basolateral infection, Bb = basolateral release after basolateral infection. Single and double asterisk indicates statistically significant difference with p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 respectively. Dotted line represents the lowest detection limit of the TCID50 assay.Back to article page
