mRNA transcript levels of endometrial genes associated with cytokines, cytokine receptors and chemokines. The mRNA transcript levels of endometrial genes associated with a pro-inflammatory cytokines, b anti-inflammatory cytokines, c cytokine receptors and d chemokine ligands. Gene expression is presented in copies per million reads (CPM), bars represent the mean CPM values, error bars the range. Significant differences (adjusted P < 0.05) between post- and pre - inoculation expression are indicated by asterisks: ‘*’ represents significant differences between oestrus samples and ‘**’ significant differences between dioestrus samples. Letters indicate significant differences between cycle stages: ‘a’ represents a significant difference between oestrus and dioestrus before inoculation, and ‘b’ between oestrus and dioestrus after inoculation
