Fig. 4From: Therapeutic effect of Schistosoma japonicum cystatin on bacterial sepsis in micerSj-Cys reduced the inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) and induced IL-10 and TGF-β1 releasing in mice with CLP-induced sepsis. The levels of these cytokines in sera of mice were measured by ELISA 12 h after the surgery. The results are shown as the mean ± SEM for each group (n = 6). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001Back to article page
