Instillation control DMEM suspension To analyze clinical signs, weight loss, and survival On days 3, 5, 7, and 9 postinfection, three animals randomly selected from each group underwent necropsy to obtain tissue specimens for assessing viral distribution, associated histopathology, and cytokine levels using quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR), hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001, and ****P < .0001 Mice in the instillation group died acutely or were euthanized when they researched 25% weight loss; these mice had a 0% survival rate by day 5, so no tissue lesion results were available on days 7 and 9 mice infected with MERS-CoV via the aerosol inhalation or intranasal instillation route, but no obvious lesions were found in other tissues. ./cache/cord-295633-vkjcheaz.txt ./txt/cord-295633-vkjcheaz.txt
