Host Genetic Background Impacts Disease Outcome During Intrauterine Infection with Ureaplasma parvum
Figure 6
Placental inflammatory profiles in U. parvum infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. (
A) Fold change (2−ΔΔCt ) is relative to normalized Ct values from sham inoculated controls, which was determined by the method of Schmittgen and Livak [72]. Values represent the mean 2−ΔΔCt ± SD of 5 biological replicates from 3 independent experiments.* Indicates a significant difference (P<0.01), which was determined by Student’s t test using 2−ΔCt data. (B) Mean IL-10± SD expressed as pg/gm weight of tissue of 5 biological replicates from 3 independent experiments. ** Indicates a significant difference (P<0.03).
