Relative Expression of Immunomodulators in Trophoblasts from Early-and Late-Term Feline Placentas from Viable and Non-viable Pregnancies. Real-time RT-PCR analysis of trophoblast expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, IL-12p35, and IL-12p40), the anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-5), and the chemokine receptor (CXCR4) in early-(A) and late-term (B) placentas from all viable (n = 4 each for early and late tissues) versus all non-viable (n = 4 each for early and late tissues) pregnancies. Bars represent mean Ct values substracted from a negative endpoint (60-mean Ct), bracketed by standard errors of the mean. P values obtained from Wilcoxon rank sum test are noted. P values ≤ 0.05 were considered significant.
