No virus was detected in any sample collected from either age group at 10 d.p.i. To determine if advanced age correlated with increased severity of lung pathology, a comprehensive histological analysis of the respiratory tract following SARS-CoV infection was conducted in aged and juvenile animals. To determine how mucosal cytokines in SARS-CoV infection compared to systemic responses and how age may impact mucosal cytokine expression; the inflammatory protein profile was evaluated by bead-based arrays in standardized-collected lung tissue from the proximal portion of the right caudal lobe. Although no age-dependent differences were observed in the frequency of naïve (CD45RA + CCR7+) CD8 T cells in peripheral blood, there were significantly lower levels of these cells in the lung and lymph node of aged animals during SARS-CoV infection ( Figure 6A -C; unpaired student T-tests). ./cache/cord-341453-9yrvjlpx.txt ./txt/cord-341453-9yrvjlpx.txt
