In vivo experiments in animal models of disease are of crucial importance for viral tropism
and pathogenesis studies. However, these experiments must be complemented with in vitro
and ex vivo experiments. Here, we describe a protocol for the preparation and ex vivo
infection of lung slices from different mammalian host species with various respiratory
paramyxoviruses expressing fluorescent reporter proteins, and suggest follow-up
experiments including immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and confocal microscopy.
