Cell-Type-Specific Transcription of Innate Immune Regulators in response to HMPV Infection

Figure 4

Expression of the proinflammatory genes IP-10, IL-6, and IL-1β in HMPV-infected airway epithelial and immune cells. Cells were infected for the indicated time points with HMPV. Gene expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR. Expression was normalized relative to GAPDH. Data are presented as of 3 (a) or 2 (b-d) independent experiments. (a) A549, (b) NEC, (c) MDM, and (d) MDDC. (a-d) Statistical analysis (one-sided ANOVA with Dunnett’s test): (), (), and (); comparisons were made between noninfected and infected cells.
