Table 1

Serum amyloid A levels in BALB/c mice 4 weeks after challenge with TB.

Treatment			Serum amyloid A (μg/mL)*
M. tuberculosis	Antibody	𝑛
(−)	(−)	5	15.1±1.8
(+)	Control Ab 1	5	29.8±1.3
(+)	Anti-IL-6R Ab	5	13.4±1.3^†
(+)	Control Ab 2	5	33.6±6.9
(+)	Anti-TNF-α Ab	5	>189

^†Significantly different (𝑃<.01) from value for control Ab 1 (IL-6R)-treated group on Student's 𝑡-test.
