Figure 2. Up-Regulation of IFNβ Expression and IFNβ-Related Pathways in PAR2ko Mice.
Interferon-beta (IFNβ) expression from infected and control (co) (A) pancreas, (B) livers, and (C) hearts measured by qPCR. (A, B) Expression levels are fold to wt at 2 days p.i. (mean was set to 1). (C) Expression levels are fold to wt co (mean was set to 1). Data are mean ± SEM (n = 6 to 8 mice/group). *p < 0.05 for PAR2ko versus wt, †p < 0.05 for PAR2ko versus co mice of the respective genotype and p value according to nonparametric Brunner modeling of longitudinal data. (D) Representative Western blot from infected and co hearts shows phospho-signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (P-Stat1) and beta-actin (β-actin) at 8 days p.i. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
