Pretreatment with Pancaspase Inhibitor (Z-VAD-FMK) Delays but Does Not Prevent Intraperitoneal Heat-Killed Group B Streptococcus-Induced Preterm Delivery in a Pregnant Mouse Model
Table 1
Intraperitoneal HK-GBS injection leads to preterm delivery, and pretreatment with Z-VAD-FMK delays preterm delivery in mice. 109 heat killed GBS bacteria were injected intraperitoneally in day 14.5 pregnant CD-1 mice. Data from animals treated with HK-GBS without Z-VAD-FMK (GBS alone, PBS GBS or DMSO GBS) were combined.
