From: Detection of cytokine protein expression in mouse lung homogenates using suspension bead array
The alignment of the 22 analytes on the RayBio Mouse Cytokine Antibody Array. Abbreviations: bFGF: basic fibroblast growth factor; CD: cluster of differentiation; GCSF: granulocye colony stimulating factor; GM-CSF: granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor; IFN: interferon; IL: interleukin; MCP: monocytes-chemoattractant protein; M-CSF: macrophage-colony stimulating factor; MIP: macrophage inflammatory protein; RANTES: regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted; TNF: tumor necrosis factor; VEGF: vascular endothelial cell growth factor. Quantitative levels of cytokine protein concentrations (pg/ml) in lung homogenates from CD-1 mice at both 2- and 24-hours after i.p. administration of LPS or PBS vehicle (control) using suspension bead array. Significant levels of cytokine protein expression increases in lung homogenates from LPS-treated mice were noted for IL-6 (B) and GM-CSF (C) and a significant decrease in IL-2 (A) at 24-hours. Results are represented as the mean (pg/ml) ± SEM. * : P < 0.05 compared to corresponding control. N = 5/treatment group.
