Resistance to African swine fever virus among African domestic pigs appears to be associated with a distinct polymorphic signature in the RelA gene and upregulation of RelA transcription

Table 7 Correlation between the mRNA expression of IFN-α, IL-10 and TNFα with the porcine RelA expression in sick and tolerant pigs
