  1. The table shows the virus load expressed as TCID50 equivalents in lung sections of pigs euthanized post inoculation day (PID) 4 measured by quantitative real time RT-PCR detecting the matrix gene. Group 1 pigs were inoculated PID 0 with A/swine/Denmark/19126/1993 (H1N1) and group 2 pigs were inoculated PID 0 with A/swine/Denmark/10074/2004 (H1N2). Lu1: cranioventral part of the left cranial lobe; lu2: caudoventral part of the left cranial lobe; lu3: dorsal part of the left cranial lobe; lu4: ventral part of the right cranial lobe; lu5: middle part of the right cranial lobe; lu6: dorsal part of the right cranial lobe; lu7: middle part of the right middle lobe; lu8: middle part of the accessory lobe; lu9: middle part of the right caudal lobe.
