Minimum adequate models (MAMs) for effects of infection with Mycoplasma gallisepticum isolates VA1994 and NC2006 on house finch expression of cytokines IL1B, IL6, IL10, CXCLi2, and TNFSF15 in internal eyelid (nictitating membrane) across three different time points.

Based on the relative expression ratio (R) data (i.e., 28S rRNA- and control-normalized relative expression quantities).
Treatment, inoculation with VA1994 or NC2006; DPI, days postinoculation; IL, interleukin; TNFSF, tumor necrosis factor superfamily members.
