Figure 2

Viral titers of the inner ears and the brains in mice i.p. infected with MCMV and one or four times i.c. injections of LPS or PBS. The inner ear tissues and brains were excised 6 days after infection and weighed and stored at −80°C. The tissues were homogenized in 500 μl of MEM. A part of the supernatant from each sample was subjected to a plaque assay. Viral titers were expressed as PFU per milligram of organ. *P<0.01 by Student's t-test. **P<0.05 by Student's t-test.
