Figure 8

Changes in CTLs in response to PRRSv infection in pregnant gilts. A) Dot plots: The gating strategy for CTLs (CD3+CD8β+) and SLA-DR-defined subpopulations is demonstrated using representative data from gilt #53. B-C) Line charts: Changes in absolute numbers (mean ± SD) of total CTLs (blue) and SLA-DR+ CTLs (red) are presented from 111 INOC and 19 CTRL gilts over time. P-values indicate significant differences between INOC and CTRL gilts on individual days. D) Bar chart: The mean percentages (+SD) of CTLs expressing SLA-DR within total CTLs from INOC and CTRL gilts are presented for the respective study days. Superscript letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.01) between study days within INOC or CTRL gilts. E-F) Bar charts: The MFIs of CD8β and SLA-DR on CTLs from INOC and CTRL gilts are presented for the respective study days. Superscript letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.01) between study days within INOC or CTRL gilts.
