INOS mRNA transcription in the splenocytes of C57BL/6 J mice. The transcript levels of iNOS were detected using qRT-PCR and normalized with reference to β-actin gene. The relative level of iNOS transcription was expressed as adjusted value (QT/QR) with SEM bars. Abbreviations: WT, wild type; WTc, wild type uninfected control; MUT, mutant; MUTc, mutant uninfected control; dpi, days post-infection. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001
