Figure 4. Innate response to Ti triggers increases in characteristic markers of M2 macrophages independently of IL-4.

Figure 4

IL-4+/+ and IL-4−/− Balb/c mice (5/treatment group) were inoculated ip with vehicle, Ti or Alum. Forty-eight hours later peritoneal cells were collected and analyzed by quantitative fluorogenic PCR for expression of mRNA species characteristic of alternatively activated (M2) macrophages. The mean and s.e. for five mice/treatment group is shown for each marker. This experiment was repeated two times with similar results (*p<0.01).
