Figure Lengend Snippet: WCAV limits vasculitis. Concentrations of released ICAM-1 and VEGF were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Secretion of ICAM-1 remains low in vaccinated animals (red lines), while significantly higher in unvaccinated controls (black lines) from day 3 to day 9 post-infection challenge. The vaccinated and control groups were compared by two-way ANOVA test followed by multiplicity-adjusted post hoc comparisons (Tukey), and P -value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant (* P ≤ 0.05 and ** P ≤ 0.01).
Article Snippet: Plasma levels of ICAM-1 were analyzed for different time points by using commercial ELISA kits (Cusabio Dog intercellular adhesion molecule 1, ICAM-1/CD54 ELISA Kit).
