Olfactory bulb. Domestic pigs of 2- and 15-weeks old were intranasally inoculated with the wild boar PRV strain BEL24043 and euthanized at different time points post infection. mRNA expression of several PRV genes in the olfactory bulb was studied by RT-qPCR in 2- and 15-week-old pigs (a and d, respectively). Viral gene levels were expressed relative to the lowest positive sample for each age category. Furthermore, cytokine-related mRNA expression in de olfactory bulb was tested by RT-qPCR in 2- and 15-week-old pigs (b, c and e, f, respectively). Individual cytokine levels for all animals are expressed relative to the average cytokine expression in the control group (separately for 2- and 15- week old animals). Different pigs infected with the wild boar strain are indicated by W01 to W16. Control pigs are indicated by C01 to C10. d1 to d28 indicate the day post infection at which the pigs were euthanized.
