From: Increased bovine Tim-3 and its ligand expressions during bovine leukemia virus infection
Quantification of Tim-3 mRNA expression in PBMC and subpopulations of CD4+, CD8+, CD5+, CD14+and CD21+cells derived from BLV-uninfected and BLV-infected cattle using real-rime PCR analysis. The concentration of Tim-3 mRNA was divided by that of β-actin mRNA. Each line indicates the mean percentages in each group. Asterisks donate significant differences between the types of the cells (* p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01).
