2.11. Statistical analyses
Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS statics 19 (IBM). Numbers
for every experiment are given in the figure legends and refer to the
number of every individual mouse used in the respective group. All the
data were expressed as the means ± SEM and were analyzed using ANOVA
with an additional Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test. Differences with Pvalues < 0.05 (*) or < 0.01 (**) were considered
significant. Assessment of significance was only done for numbers ≥ 5
unless for the animal experiments, when
only some groups had lower sample sizes (Figures 2e and 4b).
