Gene expression profile in response to PFOS only exposure. Overview of log2(abundance) of gene transcripts (mRNA expression) in chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) treated with PFOS (
) versus the non-exposure control (
). The x-axis denotes duration of the post-exposure period and the y-axis the model estimate for nuclear factor ākappa-light-chain-enhancerā of activated B-cells (NF-ĪŗB), interleukin 8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor Ī± (TNF-Ī±) and interleukin 4 (IL-4). Model estimates are presented along with its SD in whiskers. Different letters indicate a significant pairwise difference for a given gene
