Chemokine-cytokine and other biomarker concentrations were measured in culture supernatants of purified mouse T cells after 48 h of stimulation with anti-CD3/CD28 Abs. Three mice per group were analyzed. Only those cytokines are listed for which significant differences in their levels were detected between CCR5+/+ and CCR5−/− T cell culture supernatants (p < 0.05). The complete list of biomarkers assessed and their corresponding levels detected in CCR5+/+ and CCR5−/− mice are shown in supplemental Table 1. Data were obtained by Rules-Based Medicine (www.rulesbasedmedicine.com), a multianalyte profile bioassay (31, 41–43).
Und. indicates undetectable.
