Mucosal and humoral response data gathered from specific-pathogen-free chickens inoculated with avian influenza subtype H9N2 and Bacillus cereus

These data present the results and data underlying the figures of the related study - Contaminated feed-borne Bacillus cereus aggravates respiratory distress post avian influenza virus H9N2 infection by inducing pneumonia - in which the humoral and mucosal responses of specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens to Bacillus cereus and avian influenza A subtype H9N2 coinfection were evaluated.Data are presented in an XLSX file and are arranged based on their associated figure and specific panel therein from the accompany paper. Data are further grouped based on the 5 study groups observed:* SPF chicks inoculated with B. cereus followed by H9N2 (n=21)* SPF chicks inoculated with H9N2 followed by B. cereus (n=21)* SPF chicks inoculated with B. cereus only (n=21)* SPF chicks inoculated with H9N2 only (n=21)* Control (n=21)The contents of the data provided are listed below by their associated figure and containing sheet within the XLSX file:Figure 1A. Mean body weights across each study group pre-inoculation. B. Mean body weights across each group and 7, 14 and 21 days post-inoculation.Figure 4A. Scoring of air sac lesions present across each study group (as per Table 1 of the accompanying paper) at 14 and 21 days post-inoculation.B. Scoring of lung inflammation present across each study group (as per Table 1 of the accompanying paper) at 14 and 21 days post-inoculation. Figure 5A.
