Variations in immune gene expression and virus levels between individuals. Transcript levels of Mx, IFN-γ and IPNV VP2 in head kidney and titers of IPNV in pancreas are shown at individual levels for the two IPNV isolates. The Mx and IFN-γ transcript levels are compared to uninfected control fish, while IPNV VP2 transcripts are compared to the NFH-El group 29d.p.i, IPNV titers were calculated by end point titration and results show TCID50/g tissue. For some individuals the transcript levels were undetected and are thus not presented.
