NOTE. Genes listed display fold-regulation values of MW2ΔsaeR/S-infected mice relative to MW2-infected mice (3 per group). RNA was collected from all leukocytes isolated from the peritoneum, 4 hours post-infection. Fold-regulation and P values calculated using SA Biosciences™ web-based software utilizing the ΔΔCt method.
