Cell area (μm2) containing TNF-alpha (a), IL-6 (b), and Caspase-1 (c) signals and the mean values with standard deviations for each group. On the right side, images from the light microscope; specimen stained immunohistochemically (mag. 8 × 40) for TNF-alpha (a), IL-6 (b), and Caspase-1 (c). Dark stained cells contain high concentrations of TNF-alpha (a), IL-6 (b), and Caspase-1 (c).
