Figure 1. 1α-hydroxylase (1α-OHase) gene expression in PBMC cultures.

Figure 1

PBMC cultures from eight M. bovis-BCG-vaccinated calves were treated with 100 ng/ml LPS, 5 µg/ml PWM, or 10 µg/ml of M. bovis PPD or received no treatment (CTRL) as indicated for 24 h. The amount of 1α-OHase (A), VDR (B), iNOS (C), RANTES (D), IFN-γ (E), IL-17A (F), and IL-17F (G) mRNA was determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR and was normalized to the amount of RPS9 mRNA in each sample. Expression of each gene is relative to non-stimulated cultures. Error bars represent SE. *** Mean is different from non-stimulated PBMC; P<0.001.
