Based on the results from the present experiment (Table 8), the IFN-α, IFN-γ, IL-2, and IL-6 cytokine family (gp130) receptors were phosphorylated; whereas, IL-4, IL-10 were dephosphorylated, and IL-7 receptor showed no change from the non-infected control cecal tissue, at 4 and 8 hours after infection, but was dephosphorylated at 24 h post-infection. Here, IFNG is linked to infection.
