Fig. 5. EHV-1-specific proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine response in PBMCs of EHM and non-EHM horses. Cytokine mRNA gene expression of IL-1β (a), IFN-γ (b), TBET (c), IL-12a (d) and chemokine mRNA gene expression of CXCL10 (e) and CCL5 (f). Relative quantities (RQ) represent x-fold increase over average levels observed for the same cytokine/chemokine prior to experimental infection. #Significant difference (P<0.05) in post-hoc multiple comparison tests comparing different groups. *,† Significant differences (P<0.05) compared to pre-infection values.
