Fig 2. sVCAM-1 did not correlate with the grade of inflammation or pro-inflammatory or pro-fibrotic cytokine levels.

Fig 2

(A) Image shows representative tissue section at day 21. sVCAM-1 did not correlate with grade of acute infiltration semi-quantitatively assessed using the EAM score. (B) Accordingly, the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6, which is critically involved in the pathogenesis of myocarditis, showed no correlation as well as the pro-fibrotic cytokine TGF-β. n = 9 for EAM score and IL-6; n = 10 for TGF-β. Bar represents 1 mm in the overview and 100 μm in the magnified image.
