Figure 5. Expression of TNF-α and iNOS mRNA from PM isolated from WT and IRAK-M^−/− mice after sham surgery or CLP.

PM were isolated 24 hrs post sham or CLP surgery, incubated with vehicle or LPS (1 µg/ml), then mRNA expression determined by real-time PCR 4 hrs later. n = 6 per group, combined from two separate experiments. *p<0.05 as compared to WT sham, †p<0.05 as compared to WT.
