Myocardial Gene Expression of T-bet, GATA-3, Ror- t, FoxP3, and Hallmark Cytokines in Chronic Chagas Disease Cardiomyopathy: An Essentially Unopposed TH1-Type Response

Figure 3

Myocardial expression of cytokine mRNA. Real-time qPCR analysis of mRNA expression in CCC and NIC myocardium. After normalization to GAPDH mRNA, relative increase was plotted in comparison to N group and data were calculated with the method, as described in Methods section. The horizontal bar stands for the median. Dotted lines indicate twofold increase or decrease of expression as compared with the control group.
