FIGURE 3.

Relative expression of cytokine genes in eqPBMC cultured in plain growth medium (medium control) or in the presence of UV‐irradiated S. vulgaris L3, cyathostomin L3, the G3 adjuvant, chitin or endotoxin. The cytokine gene expression was normalized to the geometric mean for the reference genes (SDHA and RPL32) and calibrated to that in the medium control. FC > 2 (indicated by dashed line) is considered as up‐regulated, and significant differences against the medium control are indicated in the figure by P < .05, P < .01, P < .001
