Nformed consent and underwent extensive pre-enrollment health screening, including baseline antibody titers to the specific strains of influenza utilized. After 24 hrs in quarantine, we instilled one of four dilutions (1:10, 1:100, 1:1000, 1:10000) of 107 TCID50 influenza A into bilateral nares of subjects (groups of 4? for each dilution) using standard methods. [4] The virus was manufactured and processed under current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) by Baxter BioScience, (Vienna, Austria). At pre-determined intervals (q8h for the first 5d following inoculation), we collected blood 25033180 into RNA PAXGeneTM collection tubes (PreAnalytix; Franklin Lakes, NJ) according to manufacturers’ specifications. We obtained nasal lavage samples from each subject daily for qualitative viral culture and and/or quantitative influenza RT-PCR to assess the success and timing of infection [34]. Blood and nasal lavage collection continued throughout the duration of the quarantine. All subjects received oral oseltamivir (Roche Pharmaceuticals) 75 mg by mouth twice daily as treatment or prophylaxis at day 6 following inoculation. All subjects were negative by rapid antigen detection (BinaxNow Rapid Influenza Antigen; Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc) at time of discharge.

RNA was extracted at Expression Analysis (Durham, NC) from whole blood using the PAXgeneTM 96 Blood RNA Kit (PreAnalytiX, Valencia, CA) employing the manufacturer’s recommended protocol. Complete methodology can be viewed in the Methods S1. Hybridization and microarray data collection was also performed at Expression Analysis (Durham, NC) using the GeneChipH Human Genome U133A 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).

(PDF)Statistical AnalysesFollowing RMA normalization of raw probe data, sparse latent factor regression analysis was applied to each dataset [38,39,40,41]. This reduces the dimensionality of the complex gene expression array dataset assuming that many of the probe sets on the expression array chip are highly interrelated (targeting the same genes or genes in the same pathways). Dimension reduction is performed by constructing factors (groups of genes with related expression values). These factors are used in a sparse linear regression framework to explain the variation seen in all of the probe sets. By default, most of the coefficients in this linear regression are zero. Thus, a small number (e.g., 50) of factors explain variation seen in any single dataset.
