Figure 7

Changes in T helper cells in response to PRRSv infection in pregnant gilts. A) Dot plots: The gating strategy for T helper cells (CD4+) and CD8α-defined subpopulations is demonstrated using representative data from gilt #53. B-D) Line charts: Changes in absolute numbers (mean ± SD) of total T helper cells (yellow), CD8α T helper cells (light blue), and CD8α+ T helper cells (brown) are presented from 111 INOC and 19 CTRL gilts over time. P-values indicate significant differences between INOC and CTRL gilts on individual days. E) Bar chart: The mean percentages (+SD) of T helper cells expressing CD8α within total CD4+ T cells from INOC and CTRL gilts are presented for the respective study days. Superscript letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.01) between study days within INOC or CTRL gilts.
