Furthermore, at 6 dpi, the multiplex immuno-analysis of the eyes, including appendages, showed elevation in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interferon gamma-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), MKC, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage-inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2), interleukin (IL)−6 and IL-12, in response to the infection (Fig. 3a). This evidence concerns the gene CSF3 and infection.
