Figure 5. Elevated concentrations of circulating IL-1β increases expression of Il6 and Tnfα in the lungs.

Figure 5

Following administration of exogenous rat IL-1β (1 μg/day) or vehicle for 30 days in SEOV-infected and uninfected male rats, IL-1β protein was measured in serum by ELISA and Il6 and Tnfα expression in the lungs was measured by real-time RT-PCR. Protein concentrations and gene expression (normalized to Gapdh expression) in infected rats are represented as fold change from baseline (i.e. concentrations in uninfected vehicle-treated male rats).
