Concentrations of endocervical wick protein levels of cytokines, chemokines and innate immune factors, ordered by ratio of N9 versus no-gel levels.

<p><i>56</i> Samples analyzed: N9, <i>n</i> = 20; UPG, <i>n</i> = 18; No gel, <i>n</i> = 18</p><p>^<b>§</b> ChiSquare (ChiSq) method includes subjects with outcomes following one or both exposures; Wilcoxon signed-rank (WSR) method includes subjects with outcomes following both exposures</p><p>Horizontal gridlines divide the proteins into 3 categories: proteins whose concentrations are significantly down-regulated by N9 versus no-gel (ratio < 1; bold font); protein concentrations not significantly altered by N9 (ratio ≈ 1); and protein concentrations significantly up-regulated by N9 (ratio > 1, bold font).
