  1. Values indicated are the median values (interquartile range). Findings between groups were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by multiple two-group comparisons. The Bonferroni correction was used to adjust the significance level for 4 parallel comparisons (α* = 0.0125). TNF-α = tumour necrosis factor α; IL-1α = interleukin-1α; M-CSF = macrophage colony-stimulating factor; G-CSF = granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
  2. Wild-type versus transgenic CTR mice: none.
  3. #Wild-type versus transgenic AIA mice: IL-1α p14 = 0.008; IL-12 (p70) p14 = 0.010 and p28 = 0.009; IL-13 p14 = 0.001.
  4. CTR versus AIA wild-type mice: none.
  5. §CTR versus AIA transgenic mice: IL-12 (p70) p28 = 0.001; IL-13 p28 = 0.008.
