Illustrates the real-time quantitative PCR analysis of major histocompatibility complexes (MHC) I, MHC II, and cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IFN-γ, LITAF, IL-6 and IL-12 in Astragalus polysaccharide-treated chicken embryo fibroblasts. Expression levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, LITAF and IL-12 were higher in the Astragalus polysaccharide treatment groups than for the corresponding controls. IL-12 attained the highest expression level.
