Peak viremia and presence of neutralizing anti-WNV antibodies (nAb) in sera of HOFIs before infection and on day of death.

All HOFI sera were tested for nAb at a 1:20 dilution before infection and at the time of death with the end of the project at 14 dpi. Neutralization of >90% of 50–90 PFU was considered positive using a plaque reduction neutralization assay (PRNT90). Peak viremia titers determined by plaque assay titration are shown as log10 PFU/mL and occurred on 3 dpi or 4 dpi.Peak viremia and presence of neutralizing anti-WNV antibodies (nAb) in sera of HOFIs before infection and on day of death.所有HOFI来源的血清均在感染前以1:20的稀释度进行中和抗体（nAb，neutralizing antibody）检测，检测同时覆盖动物死亡时刻以及本项目结题时的感染后14天（14 dpi）。采用空斑减少中和试验（PRNT90，plaque reduction neutralization assay）判定结果时，若对50~90个蚀斑形成单位（PFU，plaque forming unit）的中和抑制率超过90%，则判定为阳性。通过空斑滴定法测定的病毒血症峰值滴度以log10 PFU/mL为单位展示，其出现时间为感染后3天（3 dpi）或感染后4天（4 dpi）。本数据集收录了HOFI个体感染前及死亡时刻血清中的病毒血症峰值数据与抗西尼罗病毒（WNV，West Nile Virus）中和抗体的存在情况。
