Cytokine and chemokine levels in human infarcts at the stages of acute stroke, liquefactive necrosis, and cystic encephalomalacia. Graphs show the levels of 25 cytokines and chemokines in a acute infarcts (n = 5), b infarcts at the stage of liquefactive necrosis (n = 18), and c infarcts at the stage of cystic encephalomalacia (n = 9). Data is presented as a fold-change compared to equivalent brain regions from control patients. Data represent mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 versus controls by Student’s t-test when uncorrected for multiple comparisons. Red indicates cytokines and chemokines that were significantly different when corrected for multiple comparisons
