4 Fig E1 Pulmonary epithelial cells constitute the main cellular compartment infected with adenovirus during the chronic phase. Representative contour plots showing the percentage of infected cells (tdT+) in lungs of mice instilled 28 days earlier with 5 × 108 infection units of intratracheal tdT-expressing AdLTO or AdlacZ as a negative control. Gating was done as follows: epithelial cells (EpC; CD326+CD31−CD45.2−Ter119−), endothelial cells (EnC; CD326−CD31+CD45.2−Ter119−), other stromal cells (O.S.; CD326−CD31−CD45.2−Ter119−), AMs (Siglec-F+CD11c+CD45.2+), non-AM leukocytes (Siglec-F−CD45.2+), interstitial macrophages (iM; Siglec-F−CD45.2+CD11c−CD11b+F4/80+), and dendritic cells (Siglec-F−CD45.2+CD11c+I-A/I-E+). All events were pregated on live cells. Bar graphs show quantification of data in the contour. MFI, Mean fluorescence intensity. Shown is a representative of 3 independent experiments. ***P < .001, ANOVA.

7 Fig E4 Adenovirus-specific CD8 T cells do not upregulate effector molecules and mechanisms during adenoviral persistence. AdLGO infection, OVA challenge intratracheally and adoptive transfer of CD45.1+ CFSE-labeled AdLGO-specific naive OT-I T cells were performed as in Fig 1, F. Analysis of CD25 (A), IFN-γ (B), and TNF-α (C) expression, as well as degranulation activity (D) by OT-I CD8 T cells in the mediastinal lymph nodes was performed 3 days after transfer.
