Cytokine response to polyI:C treatment in chicken and duck endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Avian endothelial and fibroblast cells were treated with either PBS or PBS containing 25 µg/mL PolyI:C (Sigma Aldrich). IL-6 and IL-8 gene expression were used as representatives for pro-inflammatory cytokine production and were analysed using the RT-qPCR analysis at different timepoints. Data are pooled (n = 9) from three independent experiments with experimental replicates shown in the same colour. Statistical significance is represented by asterisks (* = p < 0.05) Results are means ± SEM.
