Figure 5

Relative transcript level (2−∆∆Ct ± SD) of selected Atlantic salmon immune gene transcripts in response to control (Ctr) and LsLGP2 knock-down (KD) copepodids 3 days post infestation. The expression in unaffected and affected sites on infested fish (N = 8) were related to elongation factor 1 alpha (elf1α) and tripartite motif (trim) genes (∆Ct) and to non-infested control fish (∆∆Ct). *Indicates significant differences (p ≥ 0.05) when compared to skin from non-infested fish. #Indicates significant differences (p ≥ 0.05) between unaffected and affected skin of infested fish. Significant difference (p ≥ 0.05) between skin sites infested with ctr and KD lice are also denoted with an asterisk (*).
