a

Average of four mice per group, no statistical difference between groups.

b

To evaluate clearance of infectious virus, sera were harvested 8 d after LCMV inoculation while 2-3 d after inoculation with LCMV-ARM 2 × 105 PFU intraperitoneal viral titers range at 3 logs of infectious virus/ml of sera (references 23 and 34), at day 8 no detectable infectious virus was observed in any of the sera by plaque assay (reference 32).
