We investigated whether correlations between mRNA levels of cytokines versus other proteins from patchy lesion could estimate cytokine paracrine signaling in vivo. Experiments with rat experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM), a patchy myocarditis model, indicated IL-1 and other protein levels were correlated, indicating paracrine signaling pathways in vivo.
