C57BL/6 CBDL Kupffera cell production of specific inflammatory mediators is increased following LPS stimulation

Mediator	C57BL/6	LBPKO	P Value
TNF-α	1,675±152	47±10	P < 0.0001
IL-6	3,204±607	191±31	P = 0.002
MIP-2	17,256±1,851	1,973±85	P < 0.0001
IL1-ra	12,138±1,199	1,280±335	P < 0.0001

Data are expressed as means ± SE, in pg/ml. Kupffer cells stimulated with 100 ng/ml LPS.
