IL-6 antibody treatment reduces IL-6 in serum (A) and ileum (B) 24 hours following ethanol and burn. Levels of IL-6 were quantified by ELISA. Cytokine concentrations in ileum were normalized to total protein in the sample as determined by BioRad protein assay and all levels are presented as concentration ± SEM. *p<0.05 versus all groups except antibody treated. n = 4–6 per group.
