From: Gene expression profiling of liver from dairy cows treated intra-mammary with lipopolysaccharide
Comparing the expression profile of 7 selected genes measured using Q-PCR and microarray. The mRNA expression of HP, SAA3, AGP, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 and TNF-α were detected using Q-PCR (blue unfilled bar) and microarray (yellow solid bar) technologies. The height of the bar indicates the average signal units. Left (right) Y-axis is the scale of microarray (Q-PCR) data. Asterisk (*), caret (^) and plus (+) symbol in the bottom indicate significant (p < 0.05) DE when comparing a time point after LPS treatment (3, 6, 9, 12 or 48 hours) to -22 hours before the infusion. Asterisk indicates significance in both microarray and Q-PCR; caret and plus indicate significance only in microarray or Q-PCR respectively. The signal units for microarray are the intensities before the log base 2 scale transform and the asterisk and caret signs for microarray are the p values after Bonferroni correction.
