Fig 5. Waddlia chondrophila induce the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the blood and in the lungs of infected mice.
IL-6, TNF and IL-12p40 in lung homogenates (A and B) and blood (C and D) of mice inoculated with 2 x 108 W. chondrophila (black boxes) and mock controls (white boxes) were quantified by ELISA. Data are means ± SEM. n = 6–8 mice per group.
