Expression analysis of rNOD2 in rabbits. (A) The tissue distribution of rNOD2 transcripts in healthy rabbits. The relative rNOD2 mRNA level in the liver (B), spleen (C), and kidneys (D) in rabbits in the early stages of an EHEC (108 CFU) infection. Bars represent the means ± standard deviations (n = 5). A significant difference is indicated with an asterisk (*). ND, not detected in skin using qRT-PCR.
