Proinflammatory cytokine concentration in the peripheral blood following oropharyngeal aspiration challenge with <i>B. pseudomallei</i>.

Abstract

<p>Serum from each of the mice (n = 5) examined above was analyzed by cytometric bead analysis for the presence of proinflammatory cytokines. Each assay was performed in triplicate. The average of the five mice is shown in pg/ml with the SEM displayed on the graph. *indicates statistical significance compared to naïve serum as determined by one-way Anova with Tukey's post-test (*<0.05, **<0.01, ***<0.001).</p
