Expression of mIDO1 in murine lung tissue during Toxoplasma gondii infection. Gene and protein expression in tissues from naïve or T. gondii ME49-infected wild-type (WT) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1-deficient (IDO−/−) mice. Western blot analysis shows murine IDO (mIDO) and β-actin protein in lung, liver, and brain tissue of naïve (–) and infected (+) WT and IDO−/− mice (A). Expression of murine guanylate binding protein 2 (mGBP2), mIDO1, and mIDO2 in lung tissue homogenates of infected mice relative to their expression in naïve control samples (B). Data were normalized to the housekeeping gene β-actin and were represented as 2−ΔΔCT (naïve vs. infected) in scattered dot plots and means ± standard deviation. The Student's t-test (unpaired, two-tailed) was used to determine statistical differences marked with asterisks (n.s., not significant; ***p ≤ 0.0001).
