Upregulation of interleukin-10 gene expression in the leukocytes of pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
18 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) may have immunomodulatory effects on the host immune system by upregulating interleukin (IL)-10 gene expression. To determine the effect of PRRSV on porcine cytokine gene expression in vivo, we infected pigs with either the European or North American strain of PRRSV and monitored cytokine gene expression in peripheral blood...
