Incremental CD28 expression in transgenic pigs increases phosphorylation of the downstream kinase extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) 1/2 during T cell activation. (A) The mean fluorescence intensity of the CD28 gene was measured by flow cytometry (WT, wild-type pigs; Tg-1–5, five transgenic pigs). (B) Real-time PCR analysis of the CD28 mRNA levels in transgenic (CD28 Tg) and WT pigs. (C) Western blot analysis of the phosphorylation of downstream kinase ERK1/2 in transgenic (CD28 Tg) and WT pigs. Data are representative of three independent Western blotting experiments with five animals per group (transgenic and wild-type groups). P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
