Time series of flu-infected lungs of DBA/2J and C57BL/6J mice

ABSTRACT: DBA/2J (D2) and C57BL/6J mice (B6) were infected intra-nasally with 2x10^3 FFU of influenza A H1N1 (PR8) virus. Lungs were collected from mock-infected controls or at day 1,2,3,4 post infection. Expression data were obtained from three independent experiments. We infected a highly susceptible mouse strain (D2) and a resistant strain (B6) with PR8 and performed a genome-wide expression analysis. We found genes expressed in lung epithelium that were specifically down-regulated in D2 mice, whereas a cluster of genes on chromosome 3 was only down-regulated in B6. In both mouse strains, chemokines, cytokines and interferon-response genes were up-regulated, indicating that the main innate immune defense pathways were activated. However, many immune response genes were up-regulated in D2 much str
