Real-time PCR analysis and microarray comparison. Transcript levels for genes of interest were determined in triplicates with control group and infection group at 8 hr post-infection or 4 days post-infection and normalized to β-actin transcript levels. Expression level of these interest genes derived from control group were set to one. Accordingly, relative fold times at 8 hours post-infection or 4 days post-infection were normalized to control group. At each time point, error bars indicate. the standard deviation: mean ± SEM (n = 3). A. real-time PCR analysis and microarray comparison at the early stage of Infection. B. real-time PCR analysis and microarray comparison at the late stage of infection.
