Comparisons of gene expression of immune genes in HM cells taken under different conditions. (a) Compares gene expression of HM cells taken from two participants (i and ii) with breasts affected by mastitis compared to the adjacent breast. PTPRC gene expression was upregulated in both participants (i and ii), whereas GZMA, GZMB and PRF1 was higher only in the second participant. Error bars represent the calculated standard error of the mean. (b) Principal component analysis (PCA) of the variance found between immune related gene expression in human milk cells taken from healthy participants compared to those from participants with mastitis or a breast abscess.
