Figure 5. Sepsis-induced changes in WBC allelic Xkrx expression ratios as determined before and after sepsis within the same subject.

First, blood samples from naïve, unmanipulated animals were collected and Xkrx allelic expression ratios determined (depicted as “Pre Control” or “Pre CLP”). Two weeks later, some animals were left unmanipulated (“Post Control”) or subjected to sepsis for 20 h (“Post CLP”). Blood was sampled again and analyzed for allelic Xkrx expression ratios. Corresponding values in individual animals are connected by arrows. P values obtained after testing for statistical differences among groups are also shown.
