Figure 2. Effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D3 on gene expression in PBMC cultures.

Figure 2

PBMC cultures from eight M. bovis-BCG-vaccinated calves were treated with 0 or 10 µg/ml of M. bovis purified protein derivative (PPD), 100 ng/ml of 25(OH)D3, and 4 ng/ml 1,25(OH)2D3 as indicated for 24 h. The amount 24-OHase (A), iNOS (B), RANTES (C), IFN-γ (D), IL17A (E), and IL-17F (F) mRNA was determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Each gene was normalized to the amount of RPS9 mRNA in each sample. Expression of each gene is relative the expression of that gene in non-stimulated cultures. Error bars represent SE. * Means are different; P<0.05.
