“…Specifically, there was significant elevation of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-3, IP-10, IL-5, TGFβ, IL-12 (p40), IL-12 (p70), IL-17, IL-13, RANTES, IFNγ, GM-CSF, TNFα, MIP-1α, MCP-3, EOTAXIN, and MCP-1 levels within the infarct of the stroked mice compared to the equivalent area of the cortex in sham mice. Of these, IL-1, IP-10, IL-17, IL-13, IFNγ, TNFα, EOTAXIN, and MCP-1 (CCL2) have all been linked to cytotoxicity in neurons (Gelbard et al, 1993; Sui et al, 2006; Takeuchi et al, 2006; Thornton et al, 2006; Mizuno et al, 2008; Tzartos et al, 2008; Park et al, 2009; Shichita et al, 2009; Yang et al, 2011; Kang et al, 2012; Parajuli et al, 2015) (Table 1). …”
