Figure 3 The CAWS-triggered murine model of KD with the activation of chemokines and adhesion molecules. (A) ELISA and (B) RT-qPCR were utilized for quantifying the serum levels of MIP-1α, RANTES and MCP-1 at 4 weeks after rhG-CSF administration in CAWS-induced mice. VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and E-selectin expressions were examined in serum specimens from CAWS-induced mice at 4 weeks after rhG-CSF administration. *** p<0.001; and **** p<0.0001. GraphPad Prism software (version 8.0.1; Graph Pad; San Diego, CA, USA) was used to create the pictures.
