Figure 6From: Porcine reproductive and respiratory virus 2 infection of the fetus results in multi-organ cell cycle suppressionExpression of genes known to be expressed following activation of the P53 signaling pathway. Gene expression in the heart (HRT) and kidney (KID) derived from fetuses collected from PRRSV-2 challenged dams at 21 days post-inoculation and classified based on viral load in serum and thymus as uninfected (UNIF, n = 10), high viral load viable (HV-VIA, n = 10) or high viral load meconium stained (HV-MEC, n = 10), or from control fetuses (CON n = 10) collected from gestation day matched non-inoculated control gilts. Fold changes were calculated within tissue relative to the average of the CON group. No significant differences (P < 0.05) were detected in any of the three genes in either tissue.Back to article page
