Differential Mucin Expression by Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Human Metapneumovirus Infection in Human Epithelial Cells

Figure 2

Cell-adhered mucins expression in A549 by hMPV and RSV infection. Cells were infected with hMPV or RSV at an MOI of 3 for 12, 24, 48, or 72 h. RNA was isolated, and the expression of MUC genes was determined by qRT-PCR. Data shown in the graphs are the mean of 5 independent experiments. Statistical significant differences are indicated. ; ; .
