In the non-CF mice, there is a visual elevation of all analytes at 48 h, though only two of five measured cytokines, IL-6 and TNF-α, were significantly elevated (p = 0.002, p = 0.049 respectively), and remained elevated 2 weeks post infection (p = 0.010, p = 0.044). Here, IL6 is linked to cystic fibrosis.
