Quantification of the expression of several chemokines both at the mRNA and protein level.

<p>mRNA levels were quantified by qRT-PCR and corrected by the level of GAPDH on each sample as a house keeping gene (<b>A</b>). Proteins were analyzed by multiplex ELISA and are expressed as pg/ml (<b>B</b>). Protein assays for CCR5 were not available. Bars represent the mean ± SEM of at least 7 animals. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001 with respect to control; &p<0.05; &&p<0.01 with respect to CDE.
