Fig. 5From: Murine host response to Neisseria gonorrhoeae upper genital tract infection reveals a common transcriptional signature, plus distinct inflammatory responses that vary between reproductive cycle phasesGranulocyte activation and diapedesis mediators show greater induction during diestrus phase infection than in estrus. The members of the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis “Granulocyte Activation and Diapedesis” pathway are shaded according to the differential fold change in transcript level after 6 h of transcervical infection with 107 gonococci during diestrus versus estrus phase over phase specific controls (signed ratio of infection-induced fold change in diestrus phase to that in estrus phase). Colors are scaled so that red and blue indicate differential fold changes of ≥2.5 or ≤ − 2.71, respectively, and white indicates a differential fold change of 0 (no difference in fold change between phases). N = 4 for all conditions except PBS estrus N = 3Back to article page
