Fig 5. Type I (IFNα-14, 16, IFNβ, and IFNω) IFN subtypes are significantly upregulated in the lymph nodes of female macaques at day 10 post infection.
(a) Levels of IFNα in the plasma samples that were collected longitudinally at day 0, 4 and 10 post-SIV infection (PI) from male (n = 4) and female (n = 4) macaques. (b) Absolute levels of Type I (IFNα-01/13, 02, 06, 08, 14, 16, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, IFNβ and IFNω) and Type III (IFNλ-1) IFN transcripts in the lymph nodes of male (n = 4) and female (n = 4) macaques at day 10 PI. Exact same amount of RNA was used from each animal for quantitative analysis.
