Real-time qRT-PCR was used to determine IFN-␥ mRNA expression levels in PHA-stimulated splenocytes (from chicken and turkey) treated with recombinant chicken or turkey IL-10 or mock-transfected COS cell supernatant at various dilutions. Similarly, there was inhibition of IFN-␥ production from PHA-stimulated turkey splenocytes by recombinant chicken and turkey IL-10, although Expression patterns of (A) IL-10 and (B) IL-13 mRNA, as measured by real-time quantitative RT-PCR, in lymphoid tissues, non-lymphoid tissues and digestive tissues of the turkey. At the protein level (72 h post-stimulation), recombinant chicken and turkey IL-10 inhibited the production of IFN-␥ by both chicken and turkey splenocytes at high concentrations, as measured by ELISA, and this effect titrated out with increasing dilution of recombinant IL-10 ( Fig. 3C and D respectively). ./cache/cord-273144-er6irjw3.txt ./txt/cord-273144-er6irjw3.txt
