MIF expression in CEF and HD11 cells. A – expression of MIF in CEF cells infected with RB1B or CVI988 strain; B – expression of MIF in chicken fibroblasts infected with REV or ALV-J; C – expression of MIF in HD11 in response to TLR2 and four stimulations; D – expression of MIF in CEF in response to TLR3 and TLR7 stimulations. The different number of asterisks (*) indicates statistically significant difference for the comparison of control (uninfected or untreated) and infected (or stimulated) transcripts at the same time point as determined by Student’s t-test. ** – P < 0.01, *** – P < 0.001. Error bars represent standard error

MIF expression in chicken skin infected with RB1B or CVI988 strain. The different number of asterisks (*) indicates statistically significant difference for the comparison of control (uninfected) and infected transcripts at the same time point as determined by Student’s t-test. ** – P < 0.01. Error bars represent standard error
