FIG. 1.

Individual relative levels of TAP mRNA (means ± standard deviations). The values have been normalized to an endogenous reference gene, 18S rRNA, and are expressed relative to the values for the calibrator, calf 1. The calves were treated as follows: they were inoculated with 5 ml of pyrogen-free saline (0.14 M NaCl) solution (gray bars), inoculated with 5 ml of a solution that contained 10⁸ CFU of M. haemolytica/ml (black bars), or treated with a selectin inhibitor (TBC1269, 25 mg/kg of body weight, given i.v.) 30 min before and 2 h after being inoculated with 5 ml of a solution that contained 10⁸ CFU of M. haemolytica/ml (hatched bars). The small numbers identify individual calves.
