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 6

Lungs from infected preterm lambs display similar trends in lymphocytic infiltration compared to full-term lambs. (A) Scoring of lymphocytes and plasma cells infiltration in the lung sections of each animal. (B) Perforin mRNA levels were measured by qPCR and expressed as fold induction relative to control animals of the same time point. (C) PD-L1 mRNA levels were measured by qPCR and expressed as fold induction relative to control animals of the same time point. For qPCR results, preliminary correlation analysis of qPCR data determined that the level of each mediator was similar between control animals of either age groups. The data represent the mean ± SE. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by ANOVA. NS, p > 0.05.
