Spss 16.0 version software

SPSS 16.0 version software was used to perform statistical analyses. The Mann–Whitney test was used to statistically compare the E38-ORF7 CPD and E38 original virus groups. Prior to analysis, the values were log transformed for viremia. The normality of the distribution of the examined variables was evaluated by the Shapiro–Wilk test. Continuous data were compared between groups using the Student’s t test followed by a one-way analysis of variance. Lung microscopic and respiratory scores were compared by the non-parametric Mann–Whitney test. All data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. For all statistical analyses, p < 0.05 was considered significant.

Statistical analysis was by Student’s t-test, ANOVA or Mann–Whitney U-test according to data distribution using version 16.0 SPSS software (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA). The data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD). Analysis of correlation between variables was performed by linear regression analysis with Prism Version 5 software (GraphPad). A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

All values have been evaluated with version 16.0 SPSS software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The reports were provided as the mean ± S.D. for each condition of at least three independent experiments and checked for using the parametric or nonparametric post hoc analysis. In addition, the raw data of flow cytometry and real-time PCR were analyzed with the FSC Express 5 and Rest 2009 software, respectively. Thus, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) and the Tukey test were carried out to investigate group variations. Statistically, significant differences have been taken into account at p < 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001.
