Figure 5

Correlation between PD-L1 and IFN-γ expression in BLV-infected cattle. Inverse correlation between IFN-γ expression and provirus load (A), and IFN- γ expression and percentages of PD-L1+ cells in PBMC (B) (n = 17; AL: 6 PL: 8 EBL: 3). Quantification of the mRNA expression for IFN- γ in isolated PBMC from BLV-infected cattle was done by real-time PCR analysis. The level of IFN- γ mRNA expression is shown as the ratios obtained by dividing the concentrations of the PCR products from IFN- γ mRNA by those from β-actin mRNA. Correlation statistics were analyzed using the Spearman correlation.
