Data represent average mean values ± standard deviations {n = 5 or 6; one mouse each died due to infection in the T. gondii-PBS group [for IL-1β, F(3, 22) = 231.7 and P = 0.0001; for IFN-γ, F(3, 22) = 329.4 and P = 0.0001] and the T. gondii-vehicle group [for IL-1β, F(3, 22) = 156.7 and P = 0.0001; for IFN-γ, F(3, 22) = 326.0 and P = 0.0001]}. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences among the groups by one-way ANOVA plus Tukey-Kramer post hoc analysis. ND, not detected.
