Fig. 3From: Three functional mutation sites affect the immune response of pigs through altering the expression pattern and IgV domain of the CD4 proteinThe functional verification of Haplotypes AA and BB at the individual level in pigs. a Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes between genotypes AA and BB in pigs (n = 10 for AA; n = 16 for BB). b Q-PCR validation of the differentially expressed genes (n = 6 for AA; n = 6 for BB). β-actin was used as the internal control for Q-PCR. Triplicate samples were analyzed for each treatment, and the results are presented as the mean ± s.e.m. **, P < 0.01. c The protein interaction network of DEGs. The red nodes represented genes that were up-regulated in individuals with genotype BB, and the green nodes represented genes that were down-regulated. The white nodes represented genes that were not significantly different between genotypes AA and BB. d Western blotting detection of the protein levels of CD4 and p-p65 of the two haplotypes (genotype AA, n = 5; genotype BB, n = 5) using anti-CD4 and anti-p65. β-actin was used as internal controlBack to article page
