From: The immunomodulatory effect of cathelicidin-B1 on chicken macrophages
APEC-induced cytokine expression in primary macrophages upon pre- and post-incubation of CATH-B1. Primary macrophages were pre-incubated with 5 µM CATH-B1 for 3 h before APEC infection, or post-incubated to 5 µM CATH-B1 for 3 h after APEC infection. Then, gene expression of cytokines was determined by qPCR. Data are represented as mean  ±  SEM of three independent experiments of triplicate samples per experiment. *P ≤ 0.05; ***P ≤ 0.005.
