Figure 5

The effects of FCS on the immune response of zebrafish larvae at 48 hpa. (a) The transcription levels of genes related to the immune response. (b, c) Relative protein expression of TNF-α and IL-1β in zebrafish larvae evaluated by Western blot. (d) The contents of NO in zebrafish larvae. (e) The mRNA expression of TLR/NF-κB signaling pathway-related genes. All the experiments are conducted in triple (n = 6). The data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Asterisks signify a significant difference (). iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor α; IL-1β/6/10, interleukin-1β/6/10; IFN-γ, interferon-gamma 1; TLR3/4a/4b, toll-like receptor 3/4a/4b; NF-κb, nuclear factor-κB; MyD88, myeloid differentiation factor 88.
