Figure Lengend Snippet: Serum was collected 24 h after RIR and used to measure (A) TNF-α, (B) IL-6, (C) IL-1β using ELISA. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (sham: n = 4 mice; RIR + vehicle: n = 5 mice; RIR + vehicle: n = 5 mice) and compared by one-way analysis of variance and Student-Newman-Keuls method. *P < 0.05 versus sham; #P < 0.05 versus vehicle. RIR, renal ischemia-reperfusion; SEM, standard error of the mean; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Article Snippet: Serum TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β were determined with an ELISA kit, specific to mouse TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA).

Techniques: Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay

Article Title: Effects of milk fermented by Lactobacillus helveticus R389 on a murine breast cancer model

doi: 10.1186/bcr1032

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of tumour injection and fermented milk feeding on the serum cytokines. (a) Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), (b) interferon gamma (IFNγ), (c) IL-6, (d) IL-4 and (e) IL-10. Results are expressed as the mean concentration of each cytokine (pg/ml) ± standard deviation. Means for each cytokine without a common letter differ significantly ( P < 0.05).

Article Snippet: To determine the concentration of the different cytokines (tumour necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α], interferon gamma [IFN-γ], IL-10, IL-4 and IL-6) in serum, the BD OptEIA™ mouse cytokine ELISA kits from BD Bioscience (San Diego, CA, USA) were used.

Techniques: Injection, Concentration Assay, Standard Deviation

Figure Lengend Snippet: Cytokine-positive cells in mammary glands. Positive cells for each cytokine were counted in histological sections from mammary glands of the tumour control group (black bars), the P(+) 2d group (white bars), the P(-) 2d group (diagonal lined bars), the P(+) 7d group (grey bars) and the P(-)7d group (horizontal lined bars). (a) Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), (b) interferon gamma (IFNγ), (c) IL-6, (d) IL-4, (e) IL-10 and (f) Bcl-2. Values are means ± standard deviation for n = 5. Means for each cytokine without a common letter differ significantly ( P < 0.05).
