IGF2 and bacterial infectious disease: For this, we have selected candidate inflammatory and stress response genes namely: tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin-1 beta (IL1β), TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6), insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), oviductal glycoprotein 1 (OVGP1), caspase 3, apoptosis-related cysteine peptidase (CASP3), transforming growth factor, beta 1 (TGFβ1), superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), which could have a crucial role in oviductal function as well as immune response against bacterial infection.
