Fig. 6. Peripheral blood cytokine/chemokine levels in naïve and irradiated C57Bl/6 mice exposed to 8.0 or 8.72 Gy (LD60/30 or LD70/30, respectively) determined on days 3, 6, and 9 post-exposure by bead-based Luminex xMAP technology.

Fig. 6.

Some mice on days 6 and 9 served as controls in mechanistic studies and had been administered vehicle. (A) shows factors that increased in irradiated mice compared to naïve at one or more time points. (B) shows factors that increased over time in naïve mice, indicating a stress effect from the irradiation procedure. (C) shows factors with a transient increase in both naïve and irradiated mice, on day 3 only. The number of mice analyzed at each time point is given below the first graph in panel A. Statistics were not performed on day 6 data since n=2 for naïve samples. Bars indicate significant difference (p < 0.05).
