Figure 3.

Dependence of renal gene expression on the presence of TLR4. Kidney mRNA abundance of ICAM-1, various cytokines and chemokines, TLR4, and iNOS were determined by real-time RT-PCR. Expression levels are shown as relative fold changes compared with saline-treated mice of the same genotype. *P < 0.05 versus Tlr4(−/−); n = 3.
