Few genes, like amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein (App), bcl2/adenovirus e1b interacting protein 3-like (Bnip3l), baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 6 (Birc6) and Spn were upregulated throughout the study and few others such as amyloid beta (A4) precursor-like protein 1 (Aplp1), Clusterin (Clu), integral membrane protein 2B (Itm2b), and valosin containing protein (Vcp), were upregulated as early as 48 hr post infection (Table 4). This evidence concerns the gene ITM2B and infection.
