From: Respiratory syncytial virus infection is associated with an altered innate immunity and a heightened pro-inflammatory response in the lungs of preterm lambs

Figure 1

RSV infection induces higher levels of innate immune mediators in preterm lambs than full-term lambs. mRNA levels were measured by qPCR and expressed as fold induction relative to control animals at the same time point. Preliminary correlation analysis of qPCR data determined that the level of each mediator was similar between control animals of either age groups. (A) MIP-1α, (B) MCP-1, (C) IL-8, (D) TNF-α, (E) IFN-γ and (F) IL-10. The data represent the mean ± SE. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by ANOVA. NS, p > 0.05.
