Effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Pyl A on the anti-inflammatory cytokines in the myometrium. Dams were killed at 4.5 hr post intrauterine injection of 20 μg LPS/250 μg Pyl A and mRNA and protein was extracted from the myometrium and analysed by PCR or ELISA. No change in interleukin-4 (IL-4) mRNA expression was seen, and a non-significant increase in IL-10 was seen with co-administration of Pyl A and LPS (a). Although there was an increase in protein levels of IL-10 and IL-5 with co-injection of LPS and Pyl A, this did not reach statistical significance (b). V = Vehicle, PA = Pyl A.
