Quantitative cytokine (IL-12p35 and IL-12p40) mRNA expression in foal (n = 7; A = birth, B = 1 month, C = 2 months, D = 3 months) monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells stimulated or not (NoStim) with CpG-ODN or LPS for 14–16 hours after 5 days of culture ex vivo. Fold difference was calculated using baseline control values (non-stimulated cells on Day 5).
