Survival of mice after LPS injection. Survival rates of mice injected intraperitoneally with LPS while being treated with SSV mAb or control antibody. Mice () were treated with SSV antibody (4 mg/kg) or anti-mouse IgG antibody (4 mg/kg; the control group) 30 min before receiving LPS injection (i.p.; 40 mg/kg). A second, identical antibody treatment was administered 6 hr after LPS injection. The survival rate (%) is plotted versus time (h) after LPS injection. The survival rate of the SSV mAb group was significantly improved compared with the control group () 24 hr after LPS injection.
