Figure 3

Changes in Th2 cytokine expression in the bursa tissues of chickens infected with either H or Ts strain. Changes in IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and IL-10 mRNA expression were quantified by real-time PCR and expressed as fold-change in the birds infected with the H or Ts strain of IBDV, compared with uninfected birds. Bars show the means and standard errors (SE) from three separate experiments. The difference in cytokine expression between experimental group and control group was assessed by Student's t-test and comparisons were considered significantly different at P ≤ 0.05 (*) and at P < 0.01 (**). dpi: days past-infection.
