At week 36, the concentrations of IL-2 (x2.3 fold, Figure 3A), IL-17 (x4.4 fold, Figure 3B), and MCP-1 (x3.2 fold, Figure 3C) were higher in samples from SLE mice than CT ones, while the concentrations of IL-4 (x0.47 fold, Figure 3D), IL-5 (x0.46 fold, Figure 3E), IL-10 (x0.18 fold, Figure 3F), IL-13 (x0.16 fold, Figure 3G), monocyte/macrophages colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) (x0.49 fold, Figure 3H), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) (x0.58 fold, Figure 3I), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (x0.33 fold, Figure 3J) were lower in samples from SLE mice. The gene discussed is IL4; the disease is systemic lupus erythematosus.
