^aValues represent the probabilities of strain- and/or time-dependent differences in response to infection for the analytes tested. ALAT data were log_n transformed before analysis; all other data were approximately normally distributed. There were highly significant effects detected for the levels of most analytes both over time (day) and between strains. No multiple-testing correction has been applied, but if Bonferroni's correction was used, then 0.0033 would be equivalent to the 0.05 significance threshold used here. Plots of transferrin levels have been published previously but are included here for completeness (25).

^bNS, not significant.
