Quantitation of selected cytokine and receptor specific gene transcripts in blood after <i>Chlamydia psittaci</i> inoculation of calves.

<p>Amounts of mRNA are presented box and whisker plots of 40-ΔCt values. -24 h: 24 hours before inoculation (n = 20); 4 h: 4 hours after inoculation (n = 20); 1 dpi and 2 dpi: n = 18; 3 dpi: n = 13; 4 dpi: n = 8. Post-inoculation values of animals were compared to pre-inoculation values of the same animals with the Wilcoxon signed rank test, then <i>P-</i>values were adjusted according to Holm (# 0.05 < <i>P</i> ≤ 0.1; * 0.01 < <i>P</i> ≤ 0.05).
