- FIG. 1.
Signs of dengue virus infection in humanized NOD/SCID mice. (a) Thrombocytopenia and erythema in infected mice by day 8 (means and standard errors of the means); platelet levels in nonreconstituted, infected and noninfected (“normal”; n = 9) versus reconstituted, infected (n = 6); and erythema development in the latter group. O.D., optical density. (b) Viremia and fever on days 1 to 18 (mean and standard error) in mice reconstituted with human CD34+ cells. (c) Comparison of rashes on the backs of shaved mice. The nonreconstituted, infected mouse is on the left, and the reconstituted, infected mouse is on the right (both day 7 postinfection).
- FIG. 2.
Comparison of dengue virus RNA in reconstituted, infected NOD/SCID mice (hu-SCID) and nonreconstituted, infected NOD/SCID mice (SCID) on day 8. Virus positive-strand RNA was estimated in each organ (samples in triplicate), using quantitative, real-time RT-PCR, as described in reference 3. The dotted line reflects the limit of detection: approximately 60 genome equivalents per organ sample.
