Tpl2 ablation in the radioresistant cells allows for an initial cytokine burst at 8 dpi, but chimeras recover by 10 dpi. (A) Experimental outline for infection of chimeras. WT or Tpl2-/- mice were irradiated and given WT bone marrow to reconstitute for 2 months. They were then infected and studied for 8-10 days for clinical outcome and cytokine examination on day 8 or day 10 post infection. (B) Weight loss curve shows that the Tpl2-/- chimeras show greater weight loss by day 8, but are able to recover their weights by day 10 post infection. Diamonds represent that the data points are averaged for males and females. (C–I) Cytokine expression at day 8 or day 10 post infection. Unpaired student’s t-test *p<0.05, **p<0.01.
