Figure 2

General cytokine expression profile after experimental H. suis infection in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Shown are the mean fold changes in mRNA expression of indicated cytokines in H. suis-infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. The mean fold change in the relevant uninfected control groups is equal to 1. An * indicates a statistically significant difference compared to uninfected control mice (p < 0.05).
