Figure 8From: Changes in leukocyte subsets of pregnant gilts experimentally infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and relationships with viral load and fetal outcomeChanges 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.Back to article page
