mRNA quantitation of pro-inflammatory cytokines by RT-PCR in the brain. Total mRNA was extracted from snap frozen areas of the brain. mRNA quantitation was performed by RT-PCR using rhesus specific Taqman probes. The mRNA levels are expressed as fold change relative to control after internal normalization to 18s RNA. Exposure to intra-amniotic (IA) LPS increases the expression of IL-1β in the PVWM and thalamus, COX-2 in the cerebellum and thalamus, and CCL2 in the thalamus. *p < 0.05 vs control
