Koalas vaccinated against Koala retrovirus respond by producing increased levels of interferon-gamma

摘要

Baseline mRNA expression of key immune genes in koalas harbouring endogenous KoRV (n = 10). Data is presented as mean ± SEM. a Comparison of koala cytokine mRNA expression pre-vaccination. Analysis was done using one-way ANOVA (Fisher’s LSD). b comparison of the mean expression of host restriction factor genes in koalas (one-way ANOVA. Fisher’s LSD). c comparison of baseline CD4 and CD8 expression in koalas (Student’s T-test, p < 0.05). ****p < 0.0001
