Lung viral load was determined at 72 h post-infection. Lungs of infected mice and control mice were homogenized in 1 mL of ice-cold PBS and frozen at −80°C for 14 h. Then, thawed samples were centrifuged at 2,000 × g for 10 min, and the supernatants were titrated by plaque forming assay as described above.
