Upregulation of cytokines in the patients with PGD. Serum levels of 25 cytokines and chemokines were analyzed during the early post-transplant period in patients with and without PGD. A) Sampling time points for cytokine analysis were similar between the study groups (p=0.33). B) Pro-inflammatory chemokines IP-10 and MCP-1 and cytokines IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, and IL-12 were found to be elevated in patients with PGD (black bars) compared to those without PGD (white bars). The difference in the serum levels of cytokines were statistically significant (p<0.05 for all). All values are expressed as pg/ml.
