Cytokine/chemokine levels in culture media were analyzed using mouse 32-plex panels and are shown as significant relative to vector-transfected cells. Experimental procedures are described in Materials and Methods. Briefly, BMDCs from naive mice were transfected with each glycoprotein plasmid or infected with 1 or 10 PFU/cell of HSV-1 strain McKrae. Transfected or infected cell supernatants were collected. Levels of G-CSF, eotaxin, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-3, IL-5, IL-7, IL-10, IL-13, IL-12(p40), IL-12(p70), LIF, and IL-15 did not differ between control and transfected or infected cells and are not shown. ns, not significant relative to mock-transfected or mock-infected BMDCs. For all statistical tests, P values less than or equal to 0.05 were considered statistically significant and are marked by a single upward arrow (↑). Double upward arrows (↑↑) denote a P value of <0.01, three upward arrows (↑↑↑) equals a P value of <0.001, and four upward arrows (↑↑↑↑) a P value of <0.0001.
