Experimental Design. (A) Truncated Immunising infection and Challenge protocol. Daily afferent lymph samples were collected over a 13 week period. RNA was pooled (sample pools) after extraction from afferent lymph samples from weeks labelled PI (Pre-infection, week 0), I1 (Immunising infection 1, week 1), I2 (Immunising infection 2, week 4), I3 (Immunising infection 3, week 7), C1 (Challenge infection, week 10), C2 (Challenge infection, week 11) and C3 (Challenge infection, week 12). N; number of animals in each sample pool, solid arrows show infection with 50,000 T. colubriformis (Tc) and dashed arrows show drench treatment. (B) Hybridisation of RNA pools. Solid lines show the comparisons made; solid arrows show nematode infection and dashed arrows show drench treatments.
