Fig. 7. The fetal inflammatory response prior to preterm birth.
Dams were injected with αCD3ε (or isotype control), LPS (or PBS control), or RU486 (or DMSO control). Concentrations of IL6, IL9, IL10, IL17A, IL23, IL28, CCL3, CCL5, CXCL5, CXCL10, G-CSF, and GM-CSF in amniotic fluid were determined using a cytokine multiplex assay (n=5 each). The p-values were determined by 2-tailed Mann-Whitney U-test. Data are shown as scatter plots (median).
