FIG. 6.

Stimulation of proinflammatory cytokine mRNA levels in AMφ recovered after adenovirus respiratory tract infection. Mice were exposed to adenovirus (Ad) or HBSS (Control) and sacrificed at subsequent times (indicated), and RT-PCR analysis was done as described in Materials and Methods. All experiments were conducted twice and results from experiment 1 (IL-6) or experiment 2 (TNF-α, MIP-2, MIP-1α, and L32) were chosen so as to permit adequate photographic reproduction of the data at 30 min. Each lane represents data from a separate mouse.
