| 2. | Positive control (Group B) | 5.077 b ± 0.128 | 4.992 b ± 0.276 |
| 3. | T. cordifolia + virus challenge (Group C) | 9.650 c ± 0.240 | 8.987 c ± 0.390 |
| 4. | CpG ODN + virus challenge (Group D) | 11.987 d ± 0.243 | 11.660 d ± 0.123 |
| 5. | T. cordifolia + CpG ODN + challenge (Group E) | 15.628 e ± 0.444 | 15.247 e ± 0.169 |
a–e Means bearing different superscripts column-wise differ significantly (p < 0.05). The results are expressed as fold changes to the immune response gene transcripts relative to the control group.
