Fig. 4From: Effects of bovine tumor necrosis factor alpha decoy receptors on cell death and inflammatory cytokine kinetics: potential for bovine inflammation therapyEffect of TNFR2-Ig on TNF-α-induced inflammatory cytokine gene expressions PBMCs were cultured with recombinant bovine TNF-α, actinomycin-D, and TNFR2-Ig or Cont-Ig. The gene expression of (a) IL-1β mRNA and (b) TNF-α mRNA in bovine PBMCs were assessed using real-time PCR. The results of IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA expression are presented as a ratio to their expressions in untreated PBMCs (n = 6). * p < 0.05Back to article page
