Viral RNA copies and transcriptional expression of cytokines and chemokines in Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-infected mouse heart. RNA was prepared from hearts of CVB3-infected mice treated with or without α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) and subjected to real-time polymerase chain reaction. The values from the mice without treatment were set to 1 and the relative mRNA units represent the fold induction over untreated mice. Data are presented as means ± standard error. Asterisks represent statistical differences between groups.
