CLP-induced plasma IL-6 and SDF-1α production. CD-1 mice were subjected to moderate sepsis model (CLP X1) or severe sepsis model (CLP X2). Twenty-four hours after CLP, mice were killed and whole blood was collected. Plasma levels of IL-6 (a) and SDF-1α (b) were measured by ELISA. *p<0.05 compared with sham control; #p<0.05 compared with moderate CLP. N=3.
