The hematological parameters and inflammatory cytokines of cynomolgus monkeys. A Evaluation of inflammatory cytokines of cynomolgus monkeys (control: n=15, AS: n=20). The features of inflammatory cytokines include ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), CRP (C-reactive protein), IgM-RF (immunoglobulin M-rheumatoid factor), anti-CCP antibody (anti-cyclic peptide containing citrulline antibody), PCT (procalcitonin), and ASO (anti-Streptolysin O). B Comparison of blood cell classification between normal and diseased cynomolgus monkeys (control: n=17, AS: n=34). The characteristic change of inflammatory cells is described by IL-17 (interleukin 17), TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor α), and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor). Values on graphs are the mean ± SD. p values calculated by Student’s t test, where *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, compared with control
