Decreased eicosanoid levels in the BAL fluid 3 but not 6 days after infection with A/Mexico/4108/2009 in GX−/− vs. GX+/+ mice. The eicosanoid levels in the BAL fluid of GX−/− and GX+/+ mice (C3H/HeN background) were investigated at baseline and following infection with A/Mexico/4108/2009. GX+/+ (open bars) and GX−/− (filled bars) mice (C3H/HeN background mice) BAL fluid was harvested by instilling ice cold NaCl (1 ml) five times and pooled. Levels of PGD2 MOX (A), LTB4 (B), cysteinyl leukotrienes (C), PGE2 (D), stable PGE metabolite (E), PGE2 plus PGE metabolite (F) and Lipoxin A4 (G) were assessed by ELISA. These results are the mean of 5 independent studies. All the mice used in these experiments were genotyped littermates and grouped and analyzed by their genotype. GX+/+ (open bars) and GX−/− (filled bars). Results are expressed in pg/mL. a, p<0.05 GX+/+ or GX−/− vs. base; b, p<0.05 GX+/+ vs. GX−/− at any time point, ANOVA followed by paired t-test, two tailed, assuming unequal variance. n≥7 per group.
