Figure 2. NOMID mice develop leukocytosis associated with high levels of inflammatory mediators.
Complete blood cell counts (A) and serum cytokine analysis (B) were carried out on samples harvested from P12–13 mice (n = 4–7). NOMID mice developed neutrophilia, lymphopenia, thrombocytosis and anemia and produced higher levels of several inflammatory mediators. G-CSF values were extrapolated beyond the standard range. IL-6 and TNF-α levels were near statistical significance between genotypes. Data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. *P<0.05, **P<0.007. WBC, white blood cells; RBC, red blood cells.
