Figure 5From: Transcriptional profiling avian beta-defensins in chicken oviduct epithelial cells before and after infection with Salmonella enterica serovar EnteritidisTranscriptional changes of minimally 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 amounts of AvBD transcripts in ZM100-infected COEC and ZM106-infected COEC is significant (p < 0.05).Back to article page
