Viral Infections
Lung sections comparing airway morphology changes in F344-virus and BN-virus lungs at representative time points.(A-J) H&E stained sections of F344-virus (FV) and BN-virus (BV) lungs at D7 (A-B), D10 (C-D), D14 (E-F), D21 (G-H), and D35 (I-J). Shown scale bars in micrometers (µm). Comparison of temporal transcriptomic profiles from immature lungs of two rat strains reveals a viral response signature associated with chronic lung dysfunction: Hines EA, Szakaly RJ, Leng N, Webster AT, Verheyden JM, Lashua AJ, Kendziorski C, Rosenthal LA, Gern JE, Sorkness RL, Sun X, Lemanske RF - PloS one (2014).
