Effect of inhalation of attenuated mengovirus on pulmonary physiology. BN rats were inoculated with either vehicle or 107 PFU of vMC0 (n = 5 rats per group), and on day 3 postinoculation, pulmonary physiology measurements were obtained after exposure to aerosols of normal saline followed by escalating concentrations of methacholine. Values for respiratory system resistance (Rrs) are presented as the group means ± the standard error. There were no significant differences between the vehicle- and vMC0-inoculated groups.
