PAD2 is required for normal protection from influenza reinfection. PAD2+/+ and PAD2-/- mice on the DBA/1J background were infected with PR8-OVA, followed by lethal rechallenge 12 weeks later with PR8. (a) Sera were collected at the indicated time points and used in a hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay (, 3 experiments). (b) Sera from two weeks postchallenge were used to detect anti-hemagglutinin (HA) IgG, IgA, and IgM by ELISA (). (c) Body weights were obtained daily for 14 days postchallenge infection and reported as percent of weight on the day of challenge infection (, 3 experiments). For all panels, PAD2+/+ versus PAD2-/- data were compared by paired test, graphs depict , and .
