Relative expression of ICAM-1 (A), E-selectin (B), MMP-3 (C), and MMP-12 (D) mRNA in the brains of uninfected control, infected PBS-treated, and infected minocycline-treated (mino) mice. Each bar represents the mean ± the SEM of the values obtained from four animals. Statistically significant differences in comparison with uninfected animals (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01) and between PBS-treated and minocycline-treated infected mice sacrificed at the same time point p.i. (#, P < 0.05; ##, P < 0.01) (one-way ANOVA).
