From: Comparison of response to LPS-induced sepsis in three DBA/2 stocks derived from different sources
Comparison of cytokine expressions in spleen tissue of LPS or Vehicle treated DBA/2 stocks. Spleen tissue samples harvested at early time (2 h). The mRNA levels of cytokine (TNF-α and IL-6) were measured by RT-PCR using specific primers. Amplified PCR products were electrophoresed on agarose gel, and intensity of the specific bands was recorded by a gel documentation system. Each panel represents the mRNA expression level of inflammation related genes in DBA/2Korl (a), DBA/2A (b), and DBA/2B (c) mice after treatment with LPS or Vehicle. *P < 0.05 compared to the Vehicle treated group
