Figure 2. Cyto-/chemokine concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid samples of rats with pneumococcal meningitis and treated with NaCl or LiCl were measured 18 h after infection.

Figure 2

All cyto-/chemokines measured were elevated in infected animals receiving LiCl compared to their littermates receiving NaCl. For TNF (A), IL-10 (B), and MCP-1 (C) this difference reached statistical significance. (TNF, tumor necrosis factor; IL, interleukin; MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; boxes extend from the 25th to 75th percentiles and include median; +, mean; whiskers, minimum to maximum value; *, p<0.05; **, p<0. 01).
