Table 1. Experimental setup.
Genetic background | IFN-γ stimulation | Control strain WA(pTTS, pP60) | Virulent strain WA(pYV) | Mock |
C57BL/6 | No | 3 | 3 | 3 |
BALB/c | No | 3 | 3 | 4 |
C57BL/6 | IFN-γ | 3 | 3 | 3 |
BALB/c | IFN-γ | 3 | 3 | 4 |
The table summarizes the number of replicates per group. The microarray data comprises genetic background of the mice (C57BL/6 and BALB/c), IFN-γ stimulation, and two Y. enterocolitica strains. The Y. enterocolitica strain WA(pTTS, p60) is a non-virulent bacterial strain and WA(pYV) is a virulent strain. The non-virulent strain has been engineered as a derivative of WA(pYV). Mock has no infection and serves as a control.
