Figure 9. Levels of IFNα and IFNγ negatively correlate with BST-2 in tissues of mice bearing mammary tumor.
Levels of IFNα and IFNγ in lymph node (A), PBMC (B), and mammary gland tissues (C) were analyzed by RT-qPCR of cDNA obtained from total RNA of naïve mice (n = 5), infected mice (n = 5), and mice bearing mammary tumor (n = 5). IFNα and IFNγ levels were compared between mammary gland and tumor tissues from the same mice (D), or between NMuMG and Mm5MT cells (E). Graphs represent means and error bars are standard deviation; ** is significance with p value less than 0.01 and * is significance with p value less than 0.05. Experiments were repeated 3 separate times with similar results.
