Cytokine concentrations in the uterine tissue of U. urealyticum-infected mice. Concentrations of IFN-γ, TNF-α, MCP-1, IL-1β, IL-1α, IL-17a, IL-6, and IL-10 in the supernatant of the uterine tissue homogenates from the mice after U. urealyticum infection, as determined using a multi-analyte flow assay kit. The cytokine concentrations (pg/mL) in the uterine tissue homogenate (n = 3–6 mice per group). *P < 0.05, and ns = not significant, P > 0.05
