Increased TLR4 Expression Aggravates Sepsis by Promoting IFN-γ Expression in CD38^−/− Mice

Figure 3

CD38^−/− mice have a stronger inflammatory response to LPS challenge. The mRNA of the kidney proinflammatory cytokines (a) IFN-γ, (b) TNF-α, (c) IL-1β, and (d) IL-6 of the WT and CD38^−/− mice were measured by RT-qPCR 2 hours after LPS stimuli. , , .
