In C57BL/6 mice at 7 weeks post-stroke there were increased levels of G-CSF, GM-CSF, IFNγ, IL-1α, IL-5, IL-6, IL-12 (p40), IL-12 (p70), IP-10, KC, MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, MIP-2A, RANTES, and TNFα within the infarct compared to the equivalent area of cortex from sham mice (Fig. 3c, left graph). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and Stroke.
