GBP2 and infection: To asses the inter-individual gene expression in the dietary infection study we selected genes from several Salmonella modulated process for individual Q-PCR confirmation: Clca6, Gpx2, Il1b, Pla2g2a, Pap, Tgm2, Stat1, Gbp2 and Ifi47. Q-PCR of the selected genes in individual samples showed high inter-individual variation but confirmed the fold changes of the microarray study using pooled samples (table 3).
