Fig. 1From: Acute phase protein expressions in secretory and cistern lining epithelium tissues of the dairy cattle mammary gland during chronic mastitis caused by staphylococciMeans and their standard errors of mRNA levels of SAA3, HP, and CP genes in mammary gland epithelial cells (MEC) depending on the mammary gland health status: CoPS (N = 8), CoNS (N = 7), or H (N = 8). SAA3 – serum amyloid A3 gene, HP – haptoglobin gene, CP – ceruloplasmin gene, CoPS – coagulase-positive staphylococci, CoNS – coagulase-negative staphylococci, H – samples free from bacteria. The value within the same gene with different letters differs significantly: a, b – at p ≤ 0.05. The value within the same gene with different numbers differs at the trend level: 1,2 – at p < 0.1Back to article page
