Fig 6. Changes in the amount of cytokines/chemokines in spleen extracts from BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice after IP infection with B. pseudomallei K96243.

Fig 6

The amount of cytokines/chemokines present in spleen extracts (S4 Table) was determined. Only fold-changes in ten of the cytokines/chemokines are shown for (A) BALB/c and (B) C57BL/6 because they showed the most changes from normal levels after infection or were known to be important for host immunity, such as TNF-α. For each time point, N = 5 for BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Fold-changes in cytokines/chemokines was determined by dividing the amount (pg/ml) present in the spleen extract by the amount present in normal, naïve mice, where N = 10 for BALB/c and N = 4 for C57BL/6 mice.
