CYBB and infection: However, the increase in expression in the N'Dama group was more uniform and sustained over time (although not significantly higher than the Boran at any time point measured) resulting in highly significant increases in CYBB expression from 21 dpi onwards (2.3-fold, P = 0.0007 at 21 dpi; 2.7-fold, P = 0.0000 at 25 dpi, 2.9-fold, P = 0.0002 at 29 dpi and 2.8-fold, P = 0.0000 at 34 dpi relative to pre-infection).
