Figure 11. Stratification of genes that were differentially expressed in tissues determined to be infected (WNV (+)) or uninfected (WNV (−)) based on sensitive qRT-PCR detection of WNV RNA.

Fold change is indicated in the columns based on mock-infected tissues. Red arrows indicate decreased gene expression and green arrows increased gene expression. Absence of arrows indicates no statistically significant change observed. Mock for all tissues n = 3; spleen WNV (−) n = 5 and WNV (+) n = 22; lung WNV (−) n = 5 and WNV (+) n = 22; liver WNV (−) n = 11 and WNV (+) n = 16; kidney WNV (+) n = 8 and WNV (+) n = 19; brain WNV (−) n = 13 and WNV (+) n = 14; p<0.05 considered significant.
