Quantification of serum inflammatory cytokines. Innate immunity was evaluated by sandwich ELISA by quantifying serum cytokines TNF alpha a EXP.1, and c EXP.2, and serum IL-6 b EXP.1, and d EXP.2. Groups means are represented as horizontal bars (EXP.1 n = 6 mice/group; XPp.2 n = 4 mice for saline IV, MBs IV, hAd-GFP IV, MBs(hAd-GFP) IV groups and n = 3 mice for MBs(hAd-GFP) + US IV and hAd-GFP IT. Data are analyzed by two way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-test, *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001)
