Figures & Tables

Fig. 1

Summary of mean relative IFNγ gene expression in splenic mononuclear cells on different days post aMPV/A vaccination in experiments I (MDA+ vaccinated) and II (MDA− vaccinated) (A) and III (MDA+ vaccinated) and IV (MDA− vaccinated) (B). The relative expression of the IFNγ gene was calculated using the 2−ΔΔCt method normalised to efficiency corrections, expression levels of the reference gene coding GAPDH and adequate control groups. Bars represent mean IFN gamma expression level against its expression in the adequate control group * Significant differences at different DPV (t-test, P < 0.05)
