Expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, TLR3 and TLR4 genes in whole embryos and, from the offspring, in blood and brain samples obtained from BTBR and C57BL6/J mice. The cytokines and TLRs expression in whole embryos (panel A–E) at gestational days 10.5, in blood (panel A’–E’) and brain samples (panel A”–E”) at post natal day 1 and 7 from BTBR (red box plots) and C57BL6/J (white box plots) mice, was examined by real time-PCR; depicting mild (black dot) and extreme (asterisk) outliers for each group were showed. In the BTBR embryos and in blood and brain samples, higher levels of cytokines and Toll-like receptors expression than in age-matched C57BL/J controls were detected.
