Data are presented as mean ± SD where each experiment was performed in duplicate and analysed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc Duncan multiple test. For each cytokine/chemokine, means within a row with different roman letters were significantly different (p < 0.05) from each other. Mean with an asterisk (∗) was significantly (p < 0.05) different from the positive control (infected cells). Cur-CS: curcumin-encapsulated chitosan.
