Figure 3. mRNA expression in tick bite skin lesions (n=22) compared to normal skin (n=9).

Figure 3

mRNA expression was measured by quantitative real-time PCR and expressed relative to the copies of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). (a) Neutrophil chemoattractants (CXCL8, CXCL1), the dendritic cell chemoattractant CCL20, and the dendritic cell marker CD11c, macrophage chemoattractants (CCL2, CCL3, CCL4) and the macrophage cell marker CD14.. (b) Th1 cell chemoattractants (CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11), T cell markers (CD4, CD8), Th2 cell chemoattractants (CCL1, CCL22), the B cell chemoattractant CXCL13, and the B cell marker CD19. (c) Pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-12p40, IL-6) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, IL-4, IL-5, and TGF-β). * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01, *** P ≤ 0.001.
