Figure 6From: Reduced levels of reactive oxygen species correlate with inhibition of apoptosis, rise in thioredoxin expression and increased bovine leukemia virus proviral loadsCorrelation between ROS levels and proviral loads. Proviral loads (expressed as numbers of viral copies in B cells) were measured by real-time PCR in PBMCs isolated from BLV-infected sheep (n = 13). ROS levels were measured in B cells cultivated for 24 h using the CM-H2DCFDA probe. A correlation coefficient R2 = 0.7764 was calculated. p < 0.001 was determined using the non parametric Spearman test.Back to article page
