ELISA analysis of cytokine secretion in cultured astrocytes treated with SDF-1α or MIP-1a

Results are expressed as mean ± S.D. of eight separate measurements obtained from different cultures on different days. All values are compared with untreated controls. Cytokine values are expressed as picograms per milliliter.
