Figure 3

Representative experiment of lung respiration, ATP content and caspase activity in RSV-infected and uninfected mice on days 2, 5, 8, 12 and 15 after inoculation. The values k c (A) and ATP (B) are plotted as a function of days after inoculation with RSV-A2 (infected, I) or mock preparation of HEp-2 culture supernatant (uninfected, U). The values of kc and ATP are re-plotted for uninfected (C) and infected (D) mice to further illustrate coupling of cellular respiration with ATP content. Panels E-F shows AMC peak area (reflects caspase-3 activity, done in duplicates) in uninfected (E) and infected (F) mice (solid circles are without zVAD-fmk and open circles are with zVAD-fmk).
