Pro-inflammatory cytokines levels (pg/mL) (A–C) and IgA level (mg/mL) (D) in nasopharyngeal samples of Control and Navax groups at day 2 compared to day 0. The Wilcoxon test was used to calculate the median differences in IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, and IgA levels at day 0 and day 2 in each group. The Mann–Whitney test was used to compared cytokine concentrations between the two groups. Only samples with measurable cytokine and IgA concentrations at day 0 were included in the statistical analysis. 95% CI for median in each group and the median difference between the two groups were shown. The significance level of all analyzes was set at the p < 0.05.
