Figure 6From: Bacterial flagellin elicits widespread innate immune defense mechanisms, apoptotic signaling, and a sepsis-like systemic inflammatory response in miceFlagellin triggers the diffuse expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Levels of inflammatory cytokines, measured by ELISA, in (a) lung, (b) liver, (c) gut and (d) kidney, at baseline and one and three hours after flagellin administration (5 μg/mouse). * P < 0.05 versus baseline (analysis of variance followed by Dunnett's test, n = 5 to 6 mice/group).Back to article page
