Effects of Trauma-Hemorrhage and IL-6 Deficiency on Splenic Immune Function in a Murine Trauma Model
Figure 1
TNF-α productive capacity of splenocytes in response to their stimulation with LPS in wild-type (WT) and IL-6 knockout (IL-6−/−) mice in sham animals (group S), after an isolated femoral fracture (group Fx) and after the combination of a femoral fracture and hemorrhage (group TH-Fx). *stat. significance () S vs. Fx and TH-Fx, #stat. significance () Fx versus. TH-Fx, $stat. significance () WT vs. IL-6−/−.
