Fig 8. The mRNA expression of representative genes in lung grafts, lymph nodes, and spleens of OB mice compared to that of non-OB mice.

The mean expression of each gene in the sham group was defined as 1 and all the other expression values were calculated relative to this level. The expression of Ighg3, Il-21, Ccl3, H2-ab1, and Pdcd1 was more upregulated in the mediastinal lymph nodes as well as the lungs of OB mice compared to that observed in non-OB mice.
