    <p>Two networks showing common genes and functions at 3 and 6 weeks p.i. were merged. The purple line indicates overlapped genes and relationships between 3 and 6 weeks p.i. Individual nodes represent proteins, with relationships represented by edges. Nodes are colored to indicate changes in gene expression, with red indicating up-regulation, green indicating down-regulation, and white indicating that the gene/factor was not differentially expressed. Solid lines indicate a direct interaction and dotted lines indicate an indirect interaction. Arrows indicate directional relationships.</p

    <p><b>A)</b> histopathology scores, <b>B)</b> scores for acid-fast-positive bacilli in the liver and spleen, and <b>C)</b> representative histopathology and acid-fast stain of the spleen and liver, HE, bar = 100μm (original magnification x400; inset, x1000) Note spleen with (1); normal, (2); +2 and, (3); +4 degree of inflammation. Also note liver with (5); normal, (6); +2, and, (7); +4 degree of inflammation. Also note myriads of acid-fast positive bacilli in the liver (8) with scant numbers of bacilli in the spleen (4). Values are represented as mean ± SE, and were analyzed by Student's <i>t</i>-test for mean weight and histopathology and the Mann Whitney <i>U</i>-test for acid-fast bacilli. (***, <i>p</i> < 0.001; **, <i>p</i> < 0.01; *, <i>p</i> < 0.05).</p
