Cytokine and chemokine levels in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mouse infarcts at the stages of acute stroke (24 h), sub-acute stroke (1 week), and liquefactive necrosis (7 weeks). Graphs show the levels of 25 cytokines and chemokines in a acute infarcts, b sub-acute infarcts, and c infarcts at the stage of liquefactive necrosis (n’s provided in Table 2). Data is presented as a fold-change compared to equivalent cortex dissected from sham mice from each strain. Data represent mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 versus sham by Student’s t-test when uncorrected for multiple comparisons. Red indicates cytokines and chemokines that are significantly different when corrected for multiple comparisons
