Figure 2. Increased ATP-Levels in the lungs of LPS treated mice.
(A) Significant increase of ATP in BALF after 24 h and 48 h of LPS exposure compared to controls. Animals were exposed to LPS (300 µg/kg/i.t.) and after 24 h and 48 h animals were killed and the BALF was collected. Data are means ± SEM, n = 5–10, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. (B) Strongly enhanced in vivo extracellular ATP release in LPS exposed animals compared to controls. In vivo bioluminescence imaging using the IVIS 100 system.
