Luminex multiplex assay quantification and comparison of the liberation of inflammatory proteins into the media of the 24 hr organ cultured muscularis externa of both species after SM and LPS. The inflamed post-surgical mouse muscularis released significantly more TNF-α (Panel A), IL-1-α (Panel B), IL-4 (Panel C) and GM-CSF (Panel F) compared to the rat SM muscularis. LPS initiated the production of significantly more IL-1β in the rat muscularis compared to the mouse, but GM-CSF protein was higher in the mouse compared to the rat after LPS.
