Cytokine analysis in the infarct core after photothrombosis (PT). Levels of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-12p70, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the infarct core of wild-type and CX3CR1-deficient mice treated either with AMD3100 (0.5 mg/kg) or vehicle (saline) for 5 consecutive days after PT. Five animals are included in each treatment group. Data are presented as means ± standard error of the mean. Statistical differences are indicated in the figure (one-way analysis of variance, Fisher’s least significant difference test).
