Differential induction of type I (α) and type III (λ1/3) IFN mRNA expression levels in liver tissues of conventional and gnotobiotic pigs experimentally infected with a genotype 3 human HEV. Type I (IFN-α) and type III (IFN-λ1/3) IFN mRNA expression levels in uninfected or HEV-infected conventional (N = 2 uninfected, 4 infected) (a) or gnotobiotic (N = 5 uninfected, 6 infected) (b) pigs at 4 weeks postinfection (wpi) were quantified using gene-specific RT-qPCR. Swine RSP32 was used as a housekeeping control. Fold change was calculated using the threshold cycle (2−ΔΔCT) method. *, P < 0.05 versus uninfected pigs. The data represent means ± standard errors of the means (SEMs).
