Chemokines eotaxin-1 (~6-fold; p < 0.001) and MCP-1 (~4-fold; p < 0.001) were detected at levels that were significantly higher on day 7 as compared to measures before infection, while GRO-α (~2-fold; p = 0.0738) followed a similar trend (Figure 5B). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL1 and infection.
