Relative transcription levels of Tyr and Dct in whole-tissue samples of heart and kidney. Samples were collected from experimental infection trials of Atlantic salmon with CMS-associated pathological changes (PMCV-positive fish co-infected by IPNV/PRV) (A-B), HSMI (diagnosis set only by histopathology, viral aetiology not confirmed) (C-D), PD (E-F) and ISA (G-H). The graph plots show the mean transcript levels for each group as obtained by RT-qPCR analysis. Expression levels are presented relative to the mean of the respective control groups, which were given the value 1. Error bars represent the mean with 95% CI for each group. The level of transcription of the tyrosinase gene family was overall not significantly different in the tissue samples from the infected individuals compared with the non-infected controls, except for Tyr in CMS Kidney 24 wpc, p < 0.05 (A) and CMS Heart 12 wpc, p < 0.05 (B), as indicated by the red square.
