When we performed a two-way ANOVA that was corrected for multiple comparisons, we found that G-CSF, IL-6, and KC/IL-8 were significantly different between C57BL/6 mice and humans, and G-CSF and IL-6 were significantly different between BALB/c mice and humans at this acute stage of stroke (Table 4). This evidence concerns the gene CSF3 and stroke disorder.
