Urinary cytokines response over time was determined using a mixed modeling approach, according to the following equation: Cytokine Level = (a) * Time + (b) Trx * Time, where Trx is BCG vs LPS & TNF-Alpha. A variance component covariance matrix was used to account for the correlation structure inherent in longitudinal measurements of cytokines.*Time squared interaction.
