Figure 2From: Expression levels of immune markers in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniaeinfected pigs and their relation to breed and clinical symptomsKinetics of the activation of immune markers in vivo in response to A. pleuropneumoniae infection. The concentrations of haptoglobin in plasma (A) and of IFN-γ in plasma (B) and BALF (C) were measured at 7 days before infection (-7) as well as at 4 and 21 days after infection. The box represents the 50% between 25% and 75% quartiles. The line inside the box indicates the median. The top and bottom lines denote the 5 and 95 percentile, whereas the black crosses denote minimum and maximum values. The numbers on the top of the boxes indicate the number of samples examined. ND – not determined; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.Back to article page
