Figure 3From: Expression of Septin4 in Schistosoma japonicum-infected mouse livers after praziquantel treatment Gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 in the livers from the time course study measured by qRT-PCR. Results are expressed as fold amplification over normal, uninfected liver following normalization with GAPDH. Transcriptional levels of IL-6 (A) and TNF-α (B) in the liver of the treated mice were significantly reduced compared with the infected mice. * p < 0.05 vs the control group (without the treatment of PZQ).Back to article page
