Figure 1From: Crosstalk between Neospora caninum and the bovine host at the maternal-foetal interface determines the outcome of infectionPRRs, cytokine, chemokine, endothelial adhesion molecules, MMP and TIMP transcript expression. Scatter-plot graphs of relative mRNA expression levels (as the fold change) of PRRs (A), cytokines (B), chemokines and endothelial adhesion molecules (C) and MMPs and TIMPs (D) in CA and CO collected at 10 and 20 dpi from cows experimentally infected with Nc-Spain7 and Nc-Spain1H isolates at 110 days of gestation. Data are presented as individual points. Horizontal lines represent median values for each group. ****, ***, ** and * indicate P < 0.0001, P < 0.001, P < 0.01 and P < 0.05 significant differences, respectively, and σ indicates P < 0.1. Upper symbols represent differences with respect to the control group, and lower symbols represent differences between isolates. Three randomly selected medial caruncles and cotyledons from each animal were analysed.Back to article page
