Murine Cytomegalovirus Immediate-Early 1 Gene Expression Correlates with Increased GVHD after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Recipients Reactivating from Latent Infection
Figure 1
Weight change after MCMV infection and MCMV serology testing.
MCMV infection was done by intraperitoneal injection of 3×104 PFU purified Smith strain in naive BALB/c mice and another set of mice were mock infected as control. (A) Weight change was monitored following infection for 25 weeks; n per group = 28 (MCMV) and 24 (mock); Data are presented as mean. (B) 25 weeks following infection, animals were analyzed for anti-MCMV IgG seropositivity as indicator for MCMV infection. Data shown present the index value with ≥1 determined as positive, data points for individual mice are shown.
