Comparing time-points post-WT or ΔG virus infection, no significant (p < 0.05) changes in IFNα, IFNβ or SOCS1 mRNA expression were observed at 24 h pi (Figure 1A) or 48 h pi (Figure 1B); however, SOCS3 mRNA expression was considerably decreased from 24 h pi to 48 h pi. The gene discussed is SOCS3; the disease is viral infectious disease.
