Table 2. Year 1 induced cytokine production.

Comparison of cytokine production (pg/ml) from peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture after 48 hours of stimulation with either TLR-4 agonist, TLR-3 agonist or in media alone, in offspring at year 1 of non-human primates exposed to maternal immune activation (MIA) during gestation. Data presented as Median with interquartile range; * denotes p-values less than 0.1 and ** denotes p-value less than 0.05.
