Figure 5. Increased CCL21 and CCR7 mRNA expression at the cervical and retropharyngeal LNs during acute SIV infection.

Figure 5

Quantitative real-time PCR was utilized to assess the mRNA levels of (A) CCL21/6Ckine, (B) CCR7, (C) CCL5/RANTES and (D) CCR5 in the retropharyngeal (white bars) and cervical (black bars) LNs obtained at necropsied at the designated days following oral SIV inoculation of macaques. 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 from uninfected macaques. Bars extending beyond the grey shaded area represent samples that are increased or decreased with regard to the uninfected controls.
