Effect of Brazilian Propolis on Exacerbation of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection in Mice Exposed to Tetrabromobisphenol A, a Brominated Flame Retardant

Figure 2

Effects of AF-08 on anti-RSV antibody production in RSV-infected mice with TBBPA exposure. Five mice in each group were fed a powdered diet mixed with 1% TBBPA alone, 0.02% AF-08 alone, or 1% TBBPA plus 0.02% AF-08 or without 1% TBBPA and 0.02% AF-08 (control) for 4 weeks and then infected with RSV at 106 PFU/mouse. On day 5 after infection, the amounts of anti-RSV antibody in sera of RSV-infected mice were determined by ELISA. Bars indicate standard errors.
