Figure 3

Effect of white-nose syndrome (WNS) on the levels of immune genes IRF1, RERG, SRC, IL22RA1 and IL10 expressed in the ileum of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus). (A) Summary of the four treatments, with a red arrow indicating the two groups (“with fungus” and “without fungus”) that were compared. (B–F) The relative transcript levels of each gene for bats with and without WNS, depicted as reciprocal of Cycle threshold (Ct) normalized separately (ΔCt) for levels of transcripts for GAPDH in each sample. Statistical significance was calculated based on the independent Mann Whitney test. The difference in the two groups was significant for RERG and IL22RA1 genes.
