Fig. 2From: Midbrain microglia mediate a specific immunosuppressive response under inflammatory conditionsEffect of LPS on cytokine expression. Real-time PCR for TNFα (a), IL1β (b), IL6 (c), IL10 (d), and TGFβ (e) from the cortex (Ctx), hippocampus (Hipp), midbrain (Mdb), and striatum (Str) of control and LPS-treated animals. The results are expressed as the ratio to the control group. Median with interquartile range from ten animals per group is represented. The effect of LPS was analyzed pair by pair with the median test: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001Back to article page
