From: Chicken interferon alpha pretreatment reduces virus replication of pandemic H1N1 and H5N9 avian influenza viruses in lung cell cultures from different avian species

Figure 6

Relative expression of select immune response genes following pretreatment of primary turkey lung cells with 1000 U/ml rChIFN-α, and infection with H1N1 or H5N9, compared to control (untreated/uninfected) cells. The relative expression of IFN-α (A), Mx (B), IL-6 (C), and IL-1β (D) was measured following mock treatment at various time points post infection in three independent experiments. RNA from lung cells was normalized using the 28S house-keeping gene. Data are expressed as fold change in mRNA levels between interferon treated and infected cells compared with those from untreated and uninfected (negative control) cells.
