Figure 3From: Gene expression profile suggests that pigs (Sus scrofa) are susceptible to Anaplasma phagocytophilum but control infectionExpression of immune response genes in experimentally A. phagocytophilum -infected and uninfected domestic pigs. The expression of selected genes was quantified by real-time RT-PCR in samples of infected (N = 3) and uninfected control pigs (N = 3). Amplification efficiencies were normalized against porcine cyclophlilyn, beta-actin and GAPDH and shown in arbitrary units as average ± S.D. mRNA levels. In all cases, the mean of duplicate values was used and data from infected and uninfected animals were compared using the ANOVA t-test (*P < 0.05).Back to article page
