Abstrakt: As more infectious viruses emerge that result in respiratory illness, there is a significant need to standardize airway harvests and maximize data acquisition. Animal models of respiratory viral infections have been outlined to allow for the analysis of the host immune response and viral pathogenesis kinetics. This chapter outlines two separate tissue harvest protocols following the intranasal infection of mice to investigate both the host immune response and viral pathogenesis. These protocols combine standard laboratory techniques for the analysis of the samples, making it easily integrable for labs without the need for specialized training. In offering two separate yet parallel tissue collection techniques, investigators can ultimately decide which technique will yield the best data for their particular research questions and can maximize data from each animal study.
