Article Title: Role of T Cells and Gamma Interferon during Induction of Hypersensitivity to Lipopolysaccharide by Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin 1 in Mice

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 4. Effects of Cs (A) or anti-IFN-g MAb (B) on LPS-induced serum TNF-a activity in BALB/c-AnNCr mice primed with TSST-1. Groups of four mice were pretreated with Cs (40 mg/kg, i.p.) or anti-IFN-g MAb (750 mg/mouse, i.p.) at 4 or 2 h, respectively, prior to injection of TSST-1. Mice were then injected i.p. with 200 mg of TSST-1 (dotted bars) per kg or PBS (clear bars). Control mice received equal volumes of PBS instead of Cs, rat IgG2a instead of anti-IFN-g MAb, or PBS instead of TSST-1. All mice were injected with LPS (400 mg/kg, i.p.) 12 h later. TNF-a activity in serum was measured 2 h postinjection of LPS. Solutions of Cs or MAb were treated with 2 mg of polymyxin B per ml to remove contaminating LPS. The percent reductions in circulating TNF-a activity caused by Cs or anti-IFN-g MAb are shown.

Figure Lengend Snippet: a Survival of Pdx1-Cre;Kras G12D/+ ;Gpx4 −/− (KCG) or Pdx1-Cre;Kras G12D/+ ; Gpx4 −/− ;Tmem173 −/− (KCGT) mice with or without control IgG or anti-8-OHG antibody treatment ( n = 10 mice/group; log-rank [Mantel–Cox] test). b Pancreatic weight of the indicated mice (6 months; n = 5 mice/group; two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test). c Representative pancreas histology of the indicated mice. d Percentages of histological structures in the pancreas of the indicated mice ( n = 5 mice/group; two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test). e Representative images of immunofluorescence staining of macrophages (red) in pancreas in indicated mice at the age of 3 months. f Relative gene expression in the pancreas of the indicated mice ( n = 3 mice/group; two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test). g Percentage of abnormal telomeres by FISH analysis in ductal cells from KCG and KCGT mice at 3 months of age ( n = 5 mice/genotype). h mRNA expression of Tmem173 in indicated mice at 3 months of age with or without clophosome treatment ( n = 3 mice/group; two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test). Data in b , d , and f – h are presented as mean ± SD. Data are from two or three independent experiments.

Article Snippet: To study the effects of 8-OHG inhibition on pancreatic tumorigenesis, 4–6 weeks old indicated that mice were randomly allocated into groups and injected i.p. with mouse monoclonal anti-8-OHG antibody (10 mg/kg; #GTX41980, RRID:AB_10732443, GeneTex) and control IgG2B (10 mg/kg; #MAB004, RRID:AB_357346, R&D Systems) per week for 12 weeks.
