  1. Fold increase from 6 h to the maximum peak of immune gene expression (on any given day) post-infection (pi) for fish infected with ISAV of either low (LVI) or high (HVI) virulence, or cell culture media to serve as negative controls. Figures in bold indicate the highest fold-induction for each gene in each organ.
