Normalized relative expression (NRE) analysis (mean ± SE) of immune-related genes in full-sibling sea bass larvae challenged with Vibrio anguillarum. The expression of pentraxin, lysozyme, transferrin, hepcidin, Il-1β, il-8, il-10, and ccl4 was evaluated from whole-single larva (n = 10 per time point) in each time [hours post-challenge (hpc)] for non-challenged (black bar) and challenged group (gray bar). Significant differences (linear regression model with Tukey correction posttest) are shown by different capital letters (A, B; p < 0.05).
