Effect of MIA by poly I:C or resiquimod on immune response in foetal brain. Foetal brain tissues were collected after 4 h MIA (PBS, poly I:C (20 mg/kg, LMW), resiquimod (2 mg/kg)). (A-H) Cytokine and chemokine mRNAs were significantly induced by resiquimod but not poly I:C compared to control (PBS). (I) Cxcl12 mRNA showed slight changes by MIA. Absolute quantification was performed via RT-qPCR and the data were normalised to Gapdh and Tbp. The individual dots are shown along with mean ± SEM. Colour indicates dams within a single treatment (same colour means “same dam”). The data were log transformed and analysed by two way-ANOVA, Tukey post-hoc test (n = 14–18 independent samples; *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.005, ***p ≤ 0.001, ****p ≤ 0.0001). Details of ANOVA F values and p values are provided in Supplementary Table 1.
