Expression of pro-inflammatory and antiviral cytokines in calcitriol treated mice. Expression levels of Interleukin (IL)-6 (A), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (B), IL-2 (C), IL-4 (D) and IFN-β (E) were measured by real-time PCR in the lungs of mice treated with calcitriol. The relative quantification (RQ) values for these genes in calcitriol-treated infected mice were calculated, and the average threshold cycle (ΔCt) values of the infected control group were used for calibration
