PAD2 is required for hemagglutination inhibiting antibody titers in DBA/1J mice after influenza infection. PAD2+/+ and PAD2-/- mice on the DBA/1J background were infected with PR8-OVA. (a) Sera were collected at the indicated time points and used in a hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay (, 5 experiments). (b) Sera at 12 weeks postinfection were used to detect anti-hemagglutinin (HA) IgG, IgA, and IgM by ELISA (). (c) Body weights were obtained daily for 14 days postinfection and reported as percent of weight on the day of infection (, 5 experiments). For all panels, PAD2+/+ versus PAD2-/- data were compared by paired test, graphs depict , and .
