Construction and Characterization of an Infectious Murine Gammaherpesivrus-68 Bacterial Artificial Chromosome

Figure 3

Infection of pMHV-68(BAC)v and MHV-68(loxP) produced similar viral titers to wild-type MHV-68 in lungs of mice. Balb/c mice were infected with 20 PFU of each virus via intranasal inoculation. At day 9 after infection, the lungs were harvested and homogenized for determining viral titers using plaque assays. Each symbol represents the lung titer of individual mice.
