Transcriptional activity of ETnI, ETnII-α, ETnII-β, ETnII-γ, IAP and MusD genes in whole embryos and, from the offspring, in blood and brain samples obtained from BTBR and C57BL6/J mice. The ERVs expression profile in whole embryos (panel A–F) at gestational days 10.5, in blood (panel A’–F’) and brain (panel A”–F”) samples at post natal day 1, 7, 23 and 120 from BTBR (red box plots) and C57BL6/J (white box plots) mice, was examined by real time-PCR; depicting mild (black dot) and extreme (asterisk) outliers for each group were showed. In BTBR embryos and in blood and in brain samples, the expression levels of all ERVs, were significantly higher with respect to C57BL6/J mice.
