Figure 4. Attenuation of LPS-induced endotoxic shock in M-CyldΔ9 mice.

Figure 4

A) Ten control (4 Cyld flx9/+ and 6 Cyld flx9/+ LysMcre) and eight M-CyldΔ9 mice were subjected to LPS induced endotoxic shock (32 mg LPS/kg) and survival was monitored for the next 5 days. M-CyldΔ9 mice exhibited increased resistance to endotoxemia in comparison to control mice. Data are depicted as mean absolute numbers (±SEM) from n = 10 control and 8 M-CyldΔ9 mice at 8 weeks of age. (p value = 0,02 as assessed by Student's unpaired t test). B) Concentrations of TNFα were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in supernatants from control and M-CyldΔ9 BMDMs before and 24 h after treatment with 100 ng/mL LPS. The results shown are the means (±S.D.) of triplicate measurements. Control BMDMs were isolated from 3 wild type and 4 Cyldflx9/+LysMCre mice and M-CyldΔ9 BMDMs were isolated from 4 mice.
