Fig. 4From: Transcriptome analysis of human monocytic cells infected with Burkholderia species and exploration of pentraxin-3 as part of the innate immune response against the organismsHuman monocytes upregulate expression of the soluble pattern recognition receptor, PTX3, during infection with Bm or Bt. a. Pentraxin-3 gene expression significantly increases in a time-dependent manner, with highest expression at 6 h postinfection (p < 0.001). Each condition was assessed in quadruplicates. b. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of the PTX3 gene found to be differentially expressed by microarray analysis. Each condition was assessed in triplicatesBack to article page
