Figure 3From: Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibody attenuates inflammation and decreases mortality in an experimental model of severe sepsisSurvival in murine sepsis models and the effects of differing doses of bevacizumab on mortality. A, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis following cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) comparing bevacizumab (Bev)-treated animals administered 0.1 mg/kg (n = 8) or 1.0 mg/kg (n = 8) i.p. 1 h before CLP to controls with CLP (n = 13). The group administered 0.1 mg/kg had a significantly greater survival than the CLP controls (P <0.001). B, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection comparing Bev-treated animals administered 0.1 mg/kg (n = 10) or 1.0 mg/kg (n = 10) i.p. 1 h before LPS treatment to mice administered LPS-only (n = 8). Administration of 0.1 mg/kg led to significantly greater survival relative to the LPS-only group (P = 0.028).Back to article page
