IL6 and infection: One day after infection, the high-dose infection caused an induction of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα, ZDB-GENE-050317-1) by 6.5-fold (SD = 6.6), interleukin 6 (IL-6, ZDB-GENE-120509-1) by 9.6-fold (SD = 10.4) and interleukin 12 (IL-12, ZDB-GENE-060724-1) by 2.7-fold (SD = 1.8) (Figure 3C), but no induction was seen in interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β, ZDB-GENE-040702-2).
