IDO expression is correlated with clinical signs of JE. a IDO expression at the early stage of JE. IDO expression was determined by real-time qRT-PCR using total RNA extracted from several tissues, including the spleen (Spl), mesenteric LN (MLN), bone marrow (BM), brain (Br), spinal cord (SC), and liver (Liv), 1, 2, and 3 days following JEV infection. b Comparison of IDO expression between aparalytic and paralytic hosts. IDO expression was determined by real-time qRT-PCR using total RNA extracted from several tissues in mice showing a neurological disorder such as paralysis (paralytic) and mice showing no paralytic symptoms (aparalytic) 5 dpi. c Detection of IDO protein during JE progression. IDO protein levels in several tissues of JEV-infected mice were evaluated by Western blot using a monoclonal antibody specific for IDO. Differences in IDO protein levels between aparalytic and paralytic hosts were evaluated after mice were divided into groups showing either aparalytic (AP) or paralytic symptoms (P) 5 dpi. d IDO expression in primary myeloid cells, microglia, and cortical neurons after JEV infection. Bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs), plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), macrophages (BMDMs), microglia, and primary cortical neurons were infected with JEV (10 MOI for BMDCs, pDCs, BMDMs, and microglia; 0.01 MOI for neurons) and IDO expression was determined by real-time qRT-PCR at the indicated time points. The levels of IDO expression were expressed as fold relative to mock-infected cells (0 h). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 compared to levels in the indicated groups
