In order to normalize distribution of the observed values (in pg/ml), the following transformations were used: the power of 0.2 (concentration value+1) – CCL3/MIP1α; natural logarithm – CCL7/MCP-3; the power of −0.117545 followed by subtraction with 1 – CCL5/RANTES. In case of CCL5/RANTES, the calculated value was further divided by −0.117545. The Table gives mean of non-transformed (in bold) and transformed concentration and SE of the transformed values calculated by analysis of variance. Only P values significant after correction for genome-wide significance are given. Number of tested mice is shown in brackets. C and S indicate the presence of BALB/c and STS allele, respectively.
