Figure 5

Average relative gene expression in infected bryozoan and infected fish kidney tissues of representative T. bryosalmonae proteases. All gene values were normalized to TbRPL18. ΔCq values, stated above each bar, represent the expression level of genes of interest relative to TbRPL18 in each infected host with values > 1 indicating lower expression and values < 1 indicating higher expression relative to TbRPL18. *P < 0.05. Black bars = infected fish, grey bars = infected bryozoan. Gene abbreviations: matrix metalloprotease 13 (MMP), Legumain (LGMN), Cathepsin L-like (CTLS-like), Cathepsin L2 (CTS L2) and Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein (ADAM)10-like-1/2/3.
