Cytokine mRNA expression. Densitometric analysis of IL-1α, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12p35, IL-12p40, and IFN-γ in control, LTA-, LPS-, and CpG-ODN-stimulated pulmonary tissue. Values of mRNA expressions are normalized to L32 and expressed as arbitrary units (AU). Alphabetic characters indicate 𝑃-values<.05 from Bonferroni post hoc testing (a = versus control, b = versus LTA, c = versus CpG-ODN; 𝑛=4; M ± SEM; 𝑛=6/group).
