Figure Lengend Snippet: Cytokine levels measured in serum samples from reindeer inoculated with ORFV or CvHV2. Quality control samples showed concentrations lower than the expected table values provided by the manufacturer, and results are therefore reported as median fluorescent intensity (MFI) and not converted to concentration (pg/mL). (a) Cytokine levels measured in serum samples from reindeer (n = 6) 0, 5, and 12 days post inoculation (p.i.) with Orf virus (ORFV) using the MILLIPLEX ® Bovine Cytokine/Chemokine multiplex assay. The different days of sampling are indicated for each cytokine. (b) Cytokine levels measured in serum samples from reindeer (n = 5) 0, 4, 7, and 10 days p.i. with Varicellovirus cervidalpha2 (CvHV2) using the MILLIPLEX® Bovine Cytokine/Chemokine multiplex assay. Reindeer B1 is a non-inoculated control animal. The different days of sampling are indicated for each cytokine. Significantly different from unstimulated samples: *** P < 0.001, ** P < 0.01, * P = 0.01
