Figure 3. BAL inflammatory cytokine secretion after acute smoke exposure is only increased in mainstream CS-exposed mice.

Figure 3

Concentrations of secreted cytokines KC (A), TNF-α (B), MIP-2 (C), MIP-1α (D) and MCP1 (E) in BAL after 3 days of CS exposure were determined using a magnetic bead-based multiplex assay. For this assay, BAL fluid was concentrated (10×) by ultrafiltration in centrifugal filter devices. Results are means±S.D., one-way ANOVA following Bonferroni post-hoc test. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001; FA, filter air; n=12. ns, not significant.
