Figure 1

Scatter plots of 16 cytokine concentrations detected in human blood following ex vivo bacterial exposures. Cytokine concentrations were displayed on a logarithmic scale. The cytokines shown here were detected out of the 30 cytokines in the arrays. The 8 cytokines that were found to be statistically differentially expressed among these samples are highlighted with rectangular boxes. Each mark delineates the average of triplicate exposure samples. Each exposure sample is loaded onto a protein array chip that contains 5 independent measurements per cytokine meaning that fifteen measurements are used to obtain these data.
