Figure 1From: Tissue expression and developmental regulation of chicken cathelicidin antimicrobial peptidesTissue Expression pattern of four chicken cathelicidins. All tissues were collected from three 28-day-old broiler chickens and subjected to RNA isolation and real-time PCR using gene-specific primers. Expression levels of all tissues were calculated relative to that of the esophagus using GAPDH as a reference gene. Each bar represents mean ± standard error of three chickens.Back to article page
