Figure Lengend Snippet: Relative gene expression of interferon (IFN)-γ ( a ), interleukin (IL)-13 ( b ), and IL-1β ( c ) in the spleen at 24, 48, and 72 h following in ovo immunization with 125 µg C. jejuni OMPs or 50 µg CpG ODN or their combination or PBS. Data are presented as mean expression (delta CT values) of cytokine mRNA relative to β-actin (housekeeping gene) ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Statistical significance among treatment groups was calculated using 1-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s comparison test. Bars marked with different letters ( a , b ) indicate significant differences ( p < 0.05) between the groups, while bars marked with the same letter denote no significant differences between the groups. OMPs = outer membrane proteins. SC = subcutaneously. ODN = synthetic single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing unmethylated CpG motifs.
Article Snippet: A phosphorothioate-based synthetic class B 2007 CpG ODN, purchased from Invivogen (San Diego, CA, USA), was reconstituted in endotoxin-free water and diluted to working quantities in PBS.
