Figure 1. Decreased Vδ1 and Vδ2 γδ TCR mRNA expression at the oral gingiva and esophageal mucosa during acute SIV infection.

Figure 1

The fold change in Vδ1, Vδ2, and CD4 gene expression was assessed in oral (A and C) and esophageal (B and D) mucosal tissues of SIV+ rhesus macaques necropsied at the designated days following oral SIV inoculation. The mRNA levels shown are reported as fold change with regard to the average of mRNA levels in matched samples of four uninfected macaques. The grey shaded area represents a two standard deviation range of the average expression in uninfected macaques for Vδ1 (white bars) and Vδ2 (black bars) γδ T cells. Bars extending beyond the grey shaded area represent samples that are increased or decreased with regard to the uninfected controls.
