Figure 1.
Expression of the lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTβR) in different porcine gut tissues. Tissues, including the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, appendix, colon, rectum and lymph nodes, were collected from adult male Large White pigs (n = 4), and real-time PCR was used to measure the expression level of LTβR. * p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Note that the duodenum showed significantly lower expression of LTβR than other gut tissues.
