MKP-1 gene transfer decreased IL-6 expression in rat tissues after LPS challenge. Rat tissue sections (7 μm) were immunohistochemically stained for MKP-1 and IL-6. (a) MKP-1 and IL-6 expression of representative tissue sections of rat maxillae from indicated treatment groups. The scale bars represent 200 μm. (b) Histological scores of IL-6 expression in tissue sections. (n=7 for PBS groups, n=10 for LPS groups).
