Post-burn alterations in the expression of MuLV-ERVs in B- and T-cells isolated from lymphoid organs of C57BL/6J mice. Post-burn (3 hours and 24 hours) changes in the expression of MuLV-ERVs were measured in the B- and T-cells isolated from nine different lymphoid organs. The results, which were presented as a fold change (burn/no burn) for the individual MuLV-ERV U3 bands (a, b, and c for B-cells; d, e, f, and g for T-cells), revealed a unique pattern for each experimental group (cell/organ/time). SPL (spleen), THY (thymus), LN (lymph node), AXI (axillary LN), ING (inguinal LN), MES (mesenteric LN), MAN (mandibular cervical LN), ACC (accessory mandibular cervical LN), SUP (superficial parotid cervical LN), DEE (deep cervical LN). A black arrow indicates unmeasured samples due to the low expression level. Error bars indicate standard error of the mean. * P < 0.05.
