Analysis of molecules associated with immune-inflammatory response in DKO epididymides: Expression of immunomodulator proteins IDO (A) and Gal-1 (B) were analyzed by western blotting in epididymides from WT, Group 1 (DKO1) and Group 2 (DKO2) males and relativized to housekeeping proteins. Expression of genes corresponding to different pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules IDO (C), TGF-β (D), IL-6 (E) and IL-10 (F) were evaluated by RT-PCR in epididymides from WT, Group 1 (DKO1) and Group 2 (DKO2) males and relativized to cyclophilin expression. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 6. Different letters indicate significant differences between groups (a vs b, p < 0.05). In all cases, DKO2 values correspond to the inflamed organs from unilateral- or bilaterally affected mice. Full-length blots/gels are presented in Supplementary File.
