Thioglycolate-elicted peritoneal macrophages from wild-type and macFoxp1tg mice were stimulated with LPS (10 μg/mL) overnight and cultured supernatants assayed for indicated cytokines by ELISA. Data represent mean plus or minus SD from 5 individual mice per genotype. For in vivo experiments, serum cytokine levels were determined in wild-type and macFoxp1tg mice challenged with LPS. Groups of 6 mice were injected via intraperitoneal route with 200 μg LPS. After 6 hours, mice were sacrificed and serum analyzed for cytokines by ELISA. Data represent mean plus or minus SD. ND indicates not detected. Percent reduction indicated for significant values only.
