The cytokines and chemokines with strain-dependent differences are shown. Data are the same as in Fig. 4 and represent fold changes (with averages and standard deviations for four patients) from levels in uninfected cells. Underlining indicates a trend in the data; boldface italics indicate statistically significant P values.
