Table 2 LSMean values with Standard errors of the MMP9 gene transcripts. Depicts the LSMean values with Standard errors of the MMP9 gene transcripts expressed by macrophages over time and measured by Real Time RT PCR as described in materials and methods. Values with same superscript (a, b, c, d) indicate significant differences among the strains at that time point PI.
