MCMV infection increases cochlear pro-inflammatory mediators in mice. (A) Western blot analysis of the expression of pro-IL18/1β and IL-1β/18. (B) IL-18/1β mRNA expression was examined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis; the expression levels relative to those of β-actin were normalized to the control group. (C) Protein levels of IL-1β and IL-18 determined by ELISA. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3). *P<0.05; ***P<0.001 vs. the control group. MCMV, murine congenital cytomegalovirus; IL, interleukin.
