---|---|---|---|---|
5 h | 6 h | 7 h | 8 h | |
Wild type (8) | 0/8 | 3/8 | 6/8 | 8/8 |
LTαΔ/Δ (8) | 0/8 | 2/8 | 4/8* | 8/8** |
LTα−/− (7) | 0/7 | 0/7 | 0/7 | 3/7 |
TNF KO (7) | 0/7 | 0/7 | 0/7 | 0/7 |
Mice were injected with 1 μg LPS and 20 mg D-GalN. A representative result of three independent experiments is shown. Data are shown as the ratios of severely moribund animals to healthy animals. * and **, LTαΔ/Δ versus LTα−/− (P ≤ 0.026).
