Transcription of caspase 8 and FADD in the brain tissue of WNV-infected brains. Transcriptional levels of (a) caspase 8 and (b) FADD were measured by qRT-PCR, relative to GAPDH, on day 0 and day 5 post WNV infection, in WT (white bars) and in OPN KO (gray bars) brains. Results represent the mean ± SEM of 6 animals per group. , lines indicate compared groups.
