Enhanced production of cytokines and chemokines in WNV-infected mice brains. Brains were harvested from mock and WNV-infected WT mice at day 8 after infection and homogenized as described in materials and methods. Levels of chemokines and cytokines as noted in the figure were measured using multiplex Luminex assay and are expressed as the mean concentration (pg/g of tissue) ± SEM (n=4 per group). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001, using unpaired student t-test.
