The striatums of humanized CD34+ and C57BL/6 mice displayed different murine cytokine levels after MPTP or FK506 injection. Humanized CD34+ and C57BL/6 female mice were intraperitoneal injected three times with saline vehicle or MPTP-HCL (18 mg/kg) at 2 h intervals followed by FK506 injections (10 mg/kg/day) for 5 days. Eight days post MPTP injections, striatum was dissected out, lysed and used for mouse specific multi-analyte cytokine ELISA arrays. Cytokine levels were determined from 4 to 6 animals per group ± SD (*p < 0.05 hCD34+ vs. C57BL/6; #p < 0.05 vs. hCD34+ mice, $p < 0.05 vs. C57BL/6 mice)
