TLR4-induced cytokine production. Whole blood was collected from mice at 1, 3 and 7 days after sham procedure or burn and cultured for 24 hrs with the TLR4 agonist, LPS as described in the materials and methods. Supernatants were assayed for IL-6 [A], IL-10 [B], IL-17 [C] and TNF-α [D] by Bioplex assay. Data are the mean ± SEM for n=4-10/group. * p<0.05 vs. respective sham group. † p<0.05 as compared with day 1 value. ‡ p<0.05 as compared with day 7 values.
