Figure 2: Relative expression of selected genes in rams with acute phase (A), chronic phase 1 (C1); chronic phase II (C2) B. ovis infection when compared to uninfected rams. The expression of selected genes was quantified by qRT-PCR in reproductive and pool of lymph nodes samples of experimentally infected sheep at 60 (C1), 120 (C1) and 240 dpc (C2). ATMIN: ATM interactor gene, RCHY1: ring finger and CHY zinc finger domain containing 1, ANKFY1: ankyrin repeat and FYVE domain containing 1, EFEMP1: EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1, and ZRANB2: Zinc finger, RAN-binding domain containing 2.
