Fig. 2From: 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 cistern lining epithelial cells, 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 ≤ 0.05Back to article page
