Figure 7.
Relative expression of genes showing statistically significant changes (+p < 0.1, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01) in the in vivo challenge experiment. Mucins and cytokines are represented in (A), and the other differentially expressed genes are shown in (B). Fold changes (FC) were calculated as the relative expression in the infected (positive) versus the non-infected (negative) samples. Genes showing FC > 1 were up-regulated in infected samples, whereas genes with FC < 1 were down-regulated in infected samples.
