Figure 10From: Evaluation of local and systemic immune responses in pigs experimentally challenged with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virusLocal and systemic levels of cytokines/chemokines in the pigs. The concentrations of cytokines/chemokines in the A sera and B BALF of pigs belonging to both groups at 3, 10, and 28 dpc were measured using a multiplex Luminex-based cytokine immunoassay. The bars in the graphs represent the mean ± SEM of the cytokine levels, and the asterisks (*) indicate a statistically significant difference between the averages found for the uninfected (NC) pigs and those obtained for the infected pigs at each time point (* indicates p ≤ 0.05 and ** indicates p ≤ 0.01).Back to article page
