Expression of each gene was determined by RT-PCR and normalized to the expression level of 18S RNA. Values are means plus or minus SD.

MPO indicates myeloperoxidase; LF, lactoferrin; NC, neutrophil collagenase; NG, neutrophil gelatinase; NGAL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; MCLP, murine cathelin-like protein; B9/NGP, cathelin B9; MBP, major basic protein; and EPX, eosinophil peroxidase.
