Figure 4From: Transcriptional profiling avian beta-defensins in chicken oviduct epithelial cells before and after infection with Salmonella enterica serovar EnteritidisTranscriptional changes of moderately expressed AvBDs in COEC following infections with SE. Data shown (fold change) are geometric means of three independent experiments ± standard deviation. Open bar, ZM100 (wt); solid bar, ZM103 (sipA); hatched bar, ZM106 (pipB). * indicates that the difference between the transcriptional changes induced by the wild type SE and the mutant is significant (p < 0.05).Back to article page
