Systemically Administered Ligands of Toll-Like Receptor 2, -4, and -9 Induce Distinct Inflammatory Responses in the Murine Lung
Figure 2
TLR mRNA expression. Analysis of TLR1, 2, 4, 6, and 9 in control, LTA-, LPS-, and CpG-ODN-stimulated pulmonary tissue (TLR1/6/9 detected with RT-qPCR, values depicted as relative quotient (RQ) to housekeeping gene; TLR2/4 detected with RPA, values expressed as arbitrary units (AU) normalized to L32 mRNA,). Alphabetic characters indicate from Bonferroni post hoc testing (a = versus control, b = versus LTA, c = versus CpG-ODN; M ± SEM; /group).
