Fig 5. Querecetin blocks RV-induced sustained increase in cytokines at protein level.

Supernatants from lung homogenates of sham or RV infected normal and COPD mice were used for detection of cytokines by ELISA. Data represent mean ± SEM calculated from two independent experiments with a total of 6 mice per group (* p≤0.05, different from respective sham; § p≤0.05, different from normal sham; ‡ p≤0.05, different from normal RV; # p≤0.05, different from sham-infected COPD mice on control diet; @ p≤0.05, different from RV-infected COPD mice on control diet ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc test).
