Figure 4From: Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae-specific T-cell responses after experimental infection of chickens selectively bred for high and low serum levels of mannose-binding lectin Concentration of MBL (µg/mL) in serum. Results from L10H (A) and L10L (B) chickens at the indicated days after ER infection on day 0. Results are mean values ± 95% CI for infected chickens (dark blue circles) and uninfected chickens (green squares), where non-overlapping CI indicate statistically significant differences, and individual values for infected chickens. Black circles: chickens that eventually died, red circles: chickens that showed clear clinical signs of disease at one or more occasions, orange circles: chickens positive for ER in blood at one or more occasions without clear clinical signs of disease, light blue circles: infected chickens without clinical signs of disease or bacteraemia.Back to article page
