Figure 7.
DTMUV-infected ducks effectively up-regulate IFN-α, IFN-β, IL-6, IL-8, MDA5, and MyD88 expression in DTMUV-infected DEF cells. DEF cells were infected with or without DTMUV and harvested at 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 hpi. The qRT-PCR analysis was performed to examine the mRNA expression levels of type I IFN (A,B), (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs) (E), MyD88 (F), IL-6 (C), and IL-8 (D). The average levels from three independent experiments are plotted. The error bars represent the SEs. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01.
