Figure 5. Expression of IL-23 in WT and mutant mice in-vivo and in-vitro.

(A) Whole lung IL-23 production after i.t. K. pneumonia administration. n = 5 in each group. *p<0.05 as compared to WT post i.t. bacteria. (B) Secretion of IL-23 by BMDC incubated with heat killed K. pneumoniae for 18 hrs. n = 5 in each group. *p<0.01 as compared to WT BMDC; #p<0.05 as compared to single mutants.
