Figure 4From: Transcriptional approach to study porcine tracheal epithelial cells individually or dually infected with swine influenza virus and Streptococcus suisProinflammatory cytokine and chemokine genes are highly expressed in NPTr epithelial cells infected by S. suis and swine influenza virus. Expression of TNF, IFN-β, IFNλ1, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, VCAM-1, CCL5, PLAU, and COX-2 genes in NPTr cells infected with S. suis, H1N1, or S. suis/H1N1 when compared to mock-infected cells, as quantified by qPCR assay. Data represent mean relative expression values of mRNA ± SEM. Groups that are significantly different are indicated by different letters (a, b, and c), as determined by One-way ANOVA with p ≤ 0.05.Back to article page
