PBMC analysis of genes of interest by qPCR. Levels of Aldh3b1, Cst3 and Mapk14 mRNAs were detected in PBMCs by qPCR. Aldh3b1 mRNA level was significantly increased only at 24 h; while Cst3 mRNA significant decrease at 120 h post infection compared to the control, which were consistent with the results of PBMC transcriptome analysis. Mapk4 mRNA level was significantly increased at 24 h and decreased at 120 h, being consistent with the results of the omics data. “*” represents p < 0.05, “**” p < 0.01, “***” p < 0.001
