Relative expression of two anti-lipopolysaccharide factor mRNAs, ALFHa-1 and ALFHa-2, in hepatopancreas (HEP), hematopoietic tissue (HEM), and gill of Homarus americanus 24 hours following injection with tryptone soya broth medium (TSB) (light bars) or Vibrio fluvialis in TSB (filled bars), determined by quantitative PCR. A statistically significant effect of Vibrio injection was observed only for ALFHa-1 in gill tissue (ANOVA with Bonferroni posttests, N=3).
