Lipopolysaccharides-mediated inflammatory responses in bone-marrow-derived macrophages. Basal mRNA levels of cytokines in BMDM isolated from (A) male and (B) female LysM-B2KO mice (female n = 6–7, male n = 6–9). (C–I) The treatment of female BMDM with LPS (n = 6) showed no significant difference in the expression of a panel of cytokines. Gene expression is normalized to three reference genes (NoNo, Ywhaz and Hprt). Data are represented as mean ± SEM, * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, n.d., not detectable.
