Box and whisker plots illustrating elevated intrahepatic chemokine mRNA levels in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected (n = 106) compared with normal (n = 6) individuals. a) interferon γ–inducible protein-10 (IP-10/CXCL10), b) monokine induced by interferon γ (Mig/CXCL9), and c) interferon inducible T-cell alpha chemoattractant (I-TAC/CXCL11). Chemokine expression levels, measured by real-time PCR, were normalized to endogenous GAPDH control and then calculated as fold-induction over the expression levels in a liver sample obtained from a normal control. The Y-axis indicates the logarithmic-transformed levels for each chemokine. The box extends from the 25th to the 75th percentile. The line in the middle of the box is the median and the lines extending from either end of the box indicate the extent of the data beyond the 25th and 75th percentiles, and outliers, if any. The number of patients per group is indicated in parenthesis. Note different Y-axis values between CXCL10 and CXCL9/CXCL11.
