IFN-y Elispot results, per C. burnetii phase 1 and phase 2 stimulus, related to parturition. Results of the PBMC of control goats and Coxiella-inoculated goats after stimulation with C. burnetii Phase 1 or Phase 2 antigen. Data were corrected for medium-incubated cells and expressed as percentage of ConA-stimulated cells, the X-axis is in weeks related to parturition (time point 0). A: results after stimulation with C. burnetii Phase 1 antigen, (▲: C. burnetii-inoculated goats; −: control goats). B: results after stimulation with C. burnetii Phase 2 antigen (●: C. burnetii-inoculated goats; −: control goats); *: P ≤ 0.05; **: P ≤ 0.01.
