Cytokine concentrations in the striatum of repeated (8-day) saline- or morphine-treated Tat(−) and Tat(+) mice. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM in pg/mL. Samples were loaded at 900 μg/mL total protein. Two-way ANOVAs for each CNS region were conducted with genotype and drug as between-subjects factors. F values and p values are presented from ANOVA results. Bolded values denote significant differences at α = 0.05; n = 5–6 mice per group. Additional cytokines and chemokines are represented in Figs. 5 and 6
