Figure 1

Cytokine gene expression levels in sepsis ( n = 60), bacteraemia ( n = 15) and controls ( n = 10) as measured with qRT-PCR. IL-2, IL-17, IL-15, IFN-γ, Bcl-2, Bim and Bax are expressed as copy numbers of cytokine mRNA normalised to per 10 million β-Actin mRNA copy numbers. Values represented as medians and centiles 10 to 90% in parenthesis. Between groups analysis is by Wilcoxon Rank Sum test. Pairwise comparisons between control and bacteraemic (*), control and sepsis (#), p values are indicated where positive.
