Figure 4From: Innate immune markers that distinguish red deer (Cervus elaphus) selected for resistant or susceptible genotypes for Johne’s diseaseRelative mRNA transcript expression of MDM from crossbred animals of a resistant or susceptible genotype. MDM were infected with MAP for 24 h before expression of the genes iNOS, IL-1α, TNF-α, IL-23p19, IL-12p35 and IL-10 was measured by Q-PCR. Fold changes (mean ± SEM) are defined as levels of expression after infection compared to the uninfected control, n = 13 (6 resistant and 7 susceptible). No statistically significant differences were observed between the resistant and susceptible crossbred groups.Back to article page
