Table 1.
Severity of Necrosis in Mice after Hindlimb Ischemia (HLI)
| Genotype | n | Mice with any necrosis | Necrosis Grade | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | II | III | |||
| Il21r (+/+) | 9 | 2/9 (22) | 2/9 (22) | None | None | 
| Il21r (−/−) | 12 | 5/12 (42) | 3/12 (25) | 1/12 (8.3) | 1/12 (8.3) | 
Necrosis grade is from 0 through 4, as described in Methods. Values are expressed as number of mice affected in each category/total number of mice in the category (%). Distribution is to the right. IL21R knockout mice showed a higher necrosis rate compared to the wide type littermates after HLI though not statistical different.
