The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE; Wright et al. 2010 AJ 140, 1868)
scanned the location of GRB 110328A / Swift J164449.3+573451 from January 25, 2010
to January 28, 2010 in the four WISE bands.  The coadded frames, each consisting
of 39 individual images, do not reveal a detection of the quiescent source. 
Using a 15 arcsec aperture, we obtained the following 3-sigma upper limit estimates:

    Band               U. Limit (mag)     U. Limit (uJy)
W1 (3.4 um)               > 18.0               > 19
W2 (4.6 um)               > 16.2               > 57
W3 (12 um)                > 12.8               > 240
W4 (24 um)                > 9.55               > 1270
