For intrasample validation of cytokine measurement by MAP we divided aliquots of plasma samples from 5 healthy animals. Bars represent aliquots of the same sample. Baseline values of TNF-α (1 tick = 1 ng/ml) were under the detection limit. SEM for IL-10 (1 tick = 100 pg/ml) and IL-5 (1 tick = 100 pg/ml) was low, whereas it was rather high for IFN-γ (1 tick = 1 pg/ml).
