From: Chicken innate immune response to oral infection with Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis
Northern blot analysis for 4 selected genes responding to Salmonella Enteritidis infection in the cecum. MMP7 and ExFABP were identified by real-time PCR as upregulated after the infection and AQP8 and ADH1 were identified as downregulated after the infection. GAPDH was used as a loading control. NI1, NI2 and NI3, mRNA purified from the cecum of non-infected chickens. INF1, INF2 and INF3, mRNA purified from the cecum of infected chickens.
