Figure 1. Brucella abortus induces IL-10 production by infected organs during early in vivo infection.

Figure 1

(A) IL-10 levels in serum of C57BL/6 infected with B. abortus 2308 for 3, 9, 15, and 21 days compared to uninfected mice (inoculated with sterile PBS). (B, C) qRT-PCR analysis of IL-10 gene expression in spleen (B) and liver (C) of C57BL/6 mice infected with B. abortus 2308 for 3, 9, 15, and 21 days compared to uninfected controls. n = 5. (*) represents P<0.05 when compared to control. (**) represents P<0.05 when compared to days 15 and day 21 for (C) using unpaired t- test statistical analysis.
