Cytokine expression associated with mouse-adapted influenza B virus.

The mice were euthanized (n = 5 per each time point) and lung BALF was harvested. Cytokine production in lung BALF was analyzed, including the levels of TNF-α, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-12p70 and IFN-γ, by BioPlex analysis. Statistical significance compared to mice infected with the P0 (B/Florida/04/06) virus was determined by the t-test. *indicates P < 0.0001 and † indicates P < 0.001 compared with the P0 (B/Florida/04/06).
