  1. Summary of cytokine values at 2-day culture versus 5-day culture following 6MHP vaccination. Mean cytokine at peak time point are shown in pg/ml and mean values are shown. Value are background and baseline corrected. Bold face highlights p-values <0.05. *The 5 day analysis represents a subset of the 2 day cohort so this is a descriptive analysis only.
