Cytokine mRNA Expression from CG-Treated Paws of WT and Gal-1^−/− Mice

Cytokine	WT (relative expression)	Gal-1−/− (relative expression)
IL-1β	320 ± 61.79‡∥	23.47 ± 6.09
TNF-α	37.46 ± 7.03‡	23.58 ± 6.28⁎
IL-6	41.5 ± 15.27	13.17 ± 3.40
iNOS	103.64 ± 27†¶	5.47 ± 1.57
IL-10	34.04 ± 7.05†	44.98 ± 7.67‡
TGF-β	12.21 ± 6.08⁎	25.47 ± 2.60‡⁎⁎

Real-time PCR analysis for TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS, IL-10, and TGF-β mRNA levels was performed on CG-treated paws of WT and Gal-1^−/− mice collected at the 96-hour time-point. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (8 per group).
