The host response to influenza virus infection. The host response to influenza virus infection

In this study, we performed a cross-species gene expression study of the peripheral blood from the Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse population after Influenza virus (IV). Overall design: Blood was taken for RNA isolation at different time points after virus infection (day 3, 5 and 8) and mock infection (day 3 post sterile phosphate-buffered saline infection). Body weight was measured until the day of sample collection. For every treatment and day post infection (pi), 3-5 mice per CC strain were analyzed.
