Results of Bio-Plex assay of mouse blood serum for immune modulating factors

^aIndicates a statistically significant difference between the two treatment groups. IL-13 (p = 0.032), IL-6 (p = 0.0002), LIX (P=0.048). Serum from all animals within the same treatment group was pooled and tested in triplicate for each 96-well plate assay.
