Effects of C.sinensis infection on systemic cytokines. Serum were collected and analyzed for cytokines by CBA as described in materials and methods. a, b, c Data show that both CIA group and C.sinensis + CIA group,the level of IFN-γ, IL-6 and TNF-α were higher than control group. But no difference were found in CIA group and C.sinensis + CIA group. However, C.sinensis infection can alter the level of IL-17 and IL-4. d, e The expression of IL-17 and IL-4 were significantly higher than CIA group. Asterisks mark statistically significant difference (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)
