Wild-type (Wt) (n = 5/tp) and Bid-/- (n = 5/tp) mice were euthanized at three or five days post-serum transfer. Peripheral blood was isolated by cardiac stick, and serum was separated by centrifugation and examined for production of the indicated cytokine or chemokine (pg/ml) using a Luminex based assay. Values represent the mean ± standard error, which were compared by Student's t-test. G-CSF, granulocyte colony stimulating factor; GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor; KC, CXC chemokine; MCP, monocyte chemoattractant protein; MIP1α, Macrophage inflammatory protein 1α; RANTES, regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed, and secreted; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; UD, undetectable.
